Sometimes we think that being busy is a badge of honor - that being busy makes us look successful when we don't always feel like we are. That the more stressed we are, the more valid we are because hey, we're working hard, right?

Going into business for myself was not exactly the smartest social move I could make, or so I thought as I was planning my first full time practice. I feared I would wither away in my office by myself. I feared the lack of meetings (which I hated) and the few minutes in between sessions chatting with colleagues would wear on me and I’d be like a hermit during work hours. Then I’d come home to a studying husband who m…
