I'm not saying do more work on Saturday and Sunday; I'm saying go into the weekend with a plan. When you do that you can be much more intentional with how you're spending those two days a week, rather than just using them as the recovery time. And that really helps you build a more full life." </strong></i><strong>—  Amy Gardner</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>Connect with Amy Gardner: </strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.apochromatik.com/">apochromatik.com</a></p><p>Email: <a href="mailto:Amy@Apochromatik.com">Amy@Apochromatik.com</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/apochromatik/">linkedin.com/company/apochromatik</a></p><p>Amy’s LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/amygardner/">linkedin.com/in/amygardner</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/apochromatik">twitter.com/apochromatik</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/apochromatik">facebook.com/apochromatik</a></p><p>Sign up at <a href="http://www.aposignup.com/btl">www.aposignup.com/btl</a> for a FREE 30-minute consultation!</p><p> </p><p><strong>Referenced Episode: </strong></p>
