Like I said in The Last Summer Holiday You’ll Need, a lot of people around me are frazzled right now, and ready for a holiday.
The problem is that, unless you do something fundamental to change your status quo, the feel good factor from your expensive break will last about two days.
Then you’re once more back on the hamster wheel, living only for your next break.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Welcome to The Two-Week Work Detox, a series of six articles coming to you over the next couple of weeks. It’s going to work like this:
- Each post will have a brief but chunky bit of content, followed by self-coach homework and/or questions.
- You’ll need something to capture your thoughts, ideas, and actions in. A funky notebook, a Moleskin, your iPad, laptop, or voice-recorder. Whatever works for you really.
- Tune in on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for each update. Better still, make sure you’re subscribed to the blog to get each new post via email.
- Bring your courage, enthusiasm and determination to kick your work-life in the ass.
Sound good?
So, before we get started with the series, I’d love to hear what aspects of your working life you’d like to change? And how can this series help you achieve that?

What a great idea Christine! I am really looking forward to this series. I am really happy with how my work is currenly evolving so nothing to change as such though in time I’d like to have my business set up so I can work from home / anywhere.
