I always think of Labor Day like a changing of the guard. It’s my last opportunity to breath in slowly, especially during a long weekend, before the chaos and increased speed of daily life comes flying at you from all directions. I’m not saying summer is any less demanding, just that the fall typically has more “to dos” on the combined personal and professional priority lists.
So, I write my September blog with a bit of advice - savior the warm weather (fingers crossed), slower pace of life this weekend and get some much needed R&R! I know I will - this way, I’ll be a bit more prepared to deal with the chaos headed my way: back to school, 2009 budget planning, meet the teacher open houses, fall travel (almost constant), fall yard clean up, place after place after place for my crushing schedule of BusinessAnalystWorld events!
See you in the fall!
All the best,
Adam R. Kahn
