#25: Be Present For The Experience (Friday, June 22)

I was at the same company for 7.5 years; today was my last day. I spent the day rushing through trying to finish up last minute things, sort files and transition things to other people. My perfectionist nature wouldn't let me leave until every "i" was dotted and every "t" was crossed. I ended up leaving without deleting my emails and other relevant information from my computer, and horror of all horrors, not sending out my weekly Good Friday email!

The Idea: Be present for the experience. Stop to enjoy and appreciate the things that don't happen very often - you might never have another opportunity.

The Cost: Your time.

The Benefit: You will always have that experience and the fond memories from it.
