My new year’s resolution is to take Fridays off this year. I began the week getting my scheduling calendar updated to only allow client meetings on Mon, Tue, and Wed. Then I spent the first three days of the week working through my “weekly queue”. That left yesterday to do catch-up on anything I missed.

I started today (my first official Friday off of the year) grabbing breakfast with friends. Then I went by Starbucks to work on some writing. Back home I checked in with my family who has home school on Fridays. I also answered some emails and recorded a couple of “how to” videos for a client. This afternoon I made a grocery run followed by a late lunch.

Having worked five days a week for the past 25+ years, it’s pretty exciting to consider the prospect of a four day work week. I also wonder how easily I can maintain it as I make my way through this year? I’ll be sure to return to this post in January 2027 and give an update. Here’s to Fridays off!
