Downtime is not my friend. The past three months have been an absolute whirlwind and I wake up today to find things quiet - almost eerily quiet. For the first time in months I don't have an enormous list of things that need to get accomplished or a ton of calls I have to return. It's quiet and I hate it.
Quiet just gives me an opportunity to think and my mind has a tendancy to turn towards negative thoughts. I feel like if I'm busy and moving and getting things done then the business is on a positive trend. If it's quiet and I'm sitting here with my hands folded then doesn't that mean I'm doing something wrong?
I realize that line of thinking isn't 100% true. We have a ton of momentum right now and a bunch of things in the works that are going to take a few weeks - if not months - to come to fruition (assuming they do indeed come to fruition). But as anyone who knows me well will attest - I have no patience so sitting here just waiting is killing me.
I hope this downtime ends soon. I made a list of folks I can followup with tomorrow to keep myself busy through the morning. In the meantime I'm using this excess time & energy to clean the house - at the very least my significant other will be happy with the downtime.
