Friday is derived from a translation of the Latin 'Veneris Dies', the day of the planet Venus. Venus was the goddess of love and today is a great day to love your business.
Of course we all know the old joke about Robinson Crusoe being the only man who got all his work done by Friday but it isn't necessarily true. The key lies in defining exactly what 'all your work' is. Disappointment is only when reality is not equal to expectation so if your expectation is not achievable, disappointment is the only possible outcome.
By setting realistic goals and learning to stop once they are achieved can bring much more pleasing results. You never know, you may achieve what you set out to achieve before the end of Friday. How good will that feel?
One of the most important things that Gina Gardiner taught me was to identify the difference between what was important and what was urgent. There is always a temptation to give the squeakiest wheel the most grease at the expense of jobs that can make a big difference in your business.
