Maybe we need to plan more for interruptions!
I imagine the coffee break was one of those planned interruptions. Working for hours on end can be both boring and unproductive. A good manager makes sure that time is taken off to rejuvenate.
I have this tendency to work incessantly. Just because things need to get done. Like a horse with blinkers (a reference to my heritage there!), I just go, go, go.
And often times I slow, slow, slow.
So yesterday, a lady in our church provided the interruption – with iced tea, some of the best cookies I’ve ever tasted and with a rhubarb crisp for later.
I had another fellow working with me. We both determined 30 more minutes of work would reward us with these delicacies.
And then the joy of interruption!
Wouldn’t it be interesting if we proclaimed each time we were interrupted that joy had entered our lives!!
