Michael goes for coffee every Wednesday and Friday mornings with a co-worker -- Friday to end the week on a happy note, and Wednesday to help get him over the hump!Katharine Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16805523619692744514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19555277.post-50497166104200602452008-05-13T12:48:00.000-06:002008-05-13T12:48:00.000-06:00If I could actually get my butt out of bed earlier...If I could actually get my butt out of bed earlier than 8:45, I might try your Friday morning breakfast idea, Lori. ;o) My brother, who is a mechanic and has to work Saturdays, does the same thing. He and his colleague meet for Saturday breakfast to make working the half weekend feel a little less like working.Kathy@TheFlawlessWordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853229641428041727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19555277.post-5966302927823050792008-05-13T11:28:00.000-06:002008-05-13T11:28:00.000-06:00I meet a writer friend every week for coffee.

It's a great way to end the week.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045985667596964511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19555277.post-39574452707582101202008-05-12T13:39:00.000-06:002008-05-12T13:39:00.000-06:00Kathy,I actually eat at my computer a lot, too.

It's appalling that content buyers not only hire writers with this philosophy, but also encourage others to do the same.Katharine Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16805523619692744514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19555277.post-48827030453294450952008-05-12T12:15:00.000-06:002008-05-12T12:15:00.000-06:00I have numbers 1, 3 and 4 covered pretty well and ...I have numbers 1, 3 and 4 covered pretty well and I'm working on number 5. Number 2, however, is my downfall. I eat at my desk and don't actually take a lunch break per se. I either work while I'm eating or catch up on blogs and email. Maybe I'll try slowly easing in to a lunch <I>hour</I> by trying to take one once or twice a week. Oh, and my laptop battery seems to be losing power too!Kathy@TheFlawlessWordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853229641428041727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19555277.post-17407924962250901902008-05-10T12:17:00.000-06:002008-05-10T12:17:00.000-06:00I do all of those things.
