For about 2 years now I work from home every Wednesday. This has proven a very effective way of staying productive. This may sound weird but it is actually true. Every Tuesday I gather the stuff I want to do from home. And Thursday I return fresh and up to speed with all the input that has been thrown at me.

Since last summer I have added an extra new habit, every quarter I am going totally offsite for one day. This means no email, no phone. You won't find me at home, I am just going somewhere. Just to do higher level thinking about God, work and life.
