One of the things many people fail to consider when they ask for a few minutes of your time, is what the commitment, however small it may seem, will actually entail on your end.
A half hour cup of coffee actually equals at least two hours of lost productivity for me by the time I factor in getting ready, traveling back and forth and losing rhythm in my work flow.
This certainly hit home for me. I could relate to a lot of those things, and as a mom, I certainly feel guilty when “I have to work” rather than spend just a few extra moments with the kids or give my husband “some attention.”
I’m committed to — and have been — doing better, though. Now, I at least take 4–5 days off after…

Love this. I recently had the “pleasure” of dealing with a client that decided after 5 or 6 faithful payments to withhold a payment from me worth 80+ hours of my time. My two cents: Be firm. Don’t work on anything NEW until you’ve been paid for your time up to that point. As a software developer, it gets hard to say no when the new “features” the…
