That's a great idea. I play racquetball three days a week. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday my schedule is "booked" from 11 - 1. Once in a great while I will schedule an appointment during that time, but for the most part, I'm just not available. I was also able to take a total of 8 weeks of vacation last year, and made more money than ever.
Whether it's one week every eight weeks, 6 hours a week, or three weeks once a year, we need time to recuperate, physically and mentally.

Subject: Scheduling experiment which works
Hi all,
I wanted to share with you an experiment which my husband proposed. Last year he recommended that I try a schedule of working 6 weeks and then taking a week off - and repeat. So I pulled out the calendar and wrote it in for the year.
I went from barely 1 week to 8 weeks vacation. My clients were simply told that I was booked for the week and nobody had a problem with it. I let some of my friends cover any scheduled appointments which couldn't be moved. The week off was a time for my body to relax and recuperate. I found that my income never suffered.
So a new year and I'm doing the new schedule again. Just came off of my 1st week vacation and loved it.
