I love my Sundays… It’s a free day for me, a day to not think about or do anything relating to business.  If you know me, then you’ll know that this is an extreme challenge for me…  I’m super passionate and love what I do, so it’s often hard to switch off.

In order to make sure I stay true to my ‘Free Day’ objective, I’ve had to institute some rituals and habits to keep me occupied.

One of my Sunday rituals is to get out into nature, regardless of the weather.  I usually head to Gatineau Park to do a trail run, hike, snowshoe or simply head out cross-country and see what obstacles I can find (see the video below…:)

I really enjoy Success magazine. Every month has tons of great content for the entrepreneur.

Every time a new edition arrives the first thing I do is flip to the back to check out the latest ‘hot apps’ that they recommend.

I love apps. Mostly because I’m a productivity junkie. It’s a game to me… to see how much I can accomplish in a given day, week, year… and then do more the next time – in less time.

In order to survive in the world you must learn, and to gain knowledge you must think.

This makes thinking a primary human necessity for life and a fundamental By Design concept.

And, just like your body, your mind has certain requirements you must fulfill in order to live a healthy, happy and fulfilling life.

At different points in my life I have identified as a vegetarian, vegan, pescetarian and even a brief stint as a strict raw-foodist.

I used to eat my weight in fruit and nuts and I can guarantee I’ve eaten more chick peas than all readers combined!

And now I Eat By Design.
