We are all used to downtime, server maintenance or overload. Although we may get upset, we understand that machines can break down and sometimes humans don’t pilot them efficiently, or gently and we blame people. What about ourselves? How do we pilot our own bodies?

If we push ourselves to the edge, we may get more out of the days and weeks but at what cost? In the past few weeks, I have been in one plane or train after another to: Berlin, Zurich, Munich and Stockholm - all of it work or at least web design related. So I shouldn’t have been surprised when yesterday my body just said no and forced me to stop by temporarily breaking down. In my case I need rest and am going to take it now.

It was the plan anyway. But now I mean it and will go further and unplug for another week. Be back then.
