How Business Owners Can Transform Fridays Into Fortunes Revamp Your Workweek With a Sense of Craftmanship
Craftsmanship in Life & Work is the pulse of our Ramblers’ daily hustle, especially as the week wraps up on Fridays. While the norm in many workplaces might be easing into the weekend, our Fridays at Ramblin Jackson are anything but typical. We dial up our focus, pushing the throttle on productivity to ensure we’re not just coasting into the weekend but powering through with purpose. But why do we prioritize Craftsmanship in Life & Work — and what does that even mean? Craftsmanship is pride in our work and remembering the purpose and goal of what we do. So, for us, Fridays symbolize a culmination of a week’s worth of effort, a day to double down, not wind down. It’s a day for closing deals, as we’re on the phones, following up and locking down commitments when others might be slowing down. This unwavering commitment to excellence defines our team’s approach and sets us apart in a landscape crowded with firms ready to check out at the hint of weekend air. However, this intense focus on craftsmanship isn’t confined to our professional endeavors alone; it extends into every aspect of life. Maintaining a balanced life — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually — is non-negotiable. My mornings begin with a mindful routine of rehydrating with electrolytes and planning my protein
intake. Physical activities like walking, weightlifting, running, and yoga are staples in my daily life, ensuring I stay sharp and resilient.
Practices like these help me manage stress and maintain high performance without compromising my health or happiness. Our philosophy of Craftsmanship in Life & Work extends beyond just business metrics; it influences how we engage with every aspect of our lives. It’s about enriching our lives and the lives of those around us. This holistic approach drives our success during the week while also deepening the fulfillment we derive from our work. At Ramblin Jackson, we live by the mantra that true Craftsmanship in Life & Work is a comprehensive commitment — whether it’s finalizing a client’s campaign or improving our well-being. This dedication ensures that every Friday, while others might be winding down, we’re revving up, setting the stage for a productive close to the week and a vibrant launch into the weekend. If you’re looking to transform not just your Fridays but every day into a powerhouse of productivity and wellness, start enforcing Craftsmanship in Life & Work, especially when it feels like you’re just waiting for the weekend.
THE TRUTH ABOUT TUCK-IN TIME SLEEP’S SURPRISING PERKS AND PITFALLS
Sleep Deprivation Is a Diet Destroyer Are you having trouble losing weight? Cutting calories likely won’t help you achieve your goal if you’re cutting your sleep hours at the same time. Sleep deprivation negatively affects two of our body’s most important hormones: leptin and ghrelin. Leptin informs our brain when we’re full, while ghrelin lets it know when we’re hungry. The less we sleep, the longer we’re awake — and the more time ghrelin has to make us think about snacking. A lack of sleep may also make you feel too tired to hit the gym, causing you to lose out on another opportunity to keep your diet on course. The Slumber-Suppressing Mutation Do you jump out of bed most mornings after sleeping six or fewer hours? You may be powered by a mutation in your family’s genetics. People who inherited a rare variation of the ADRB1 gene, which affects the coding of receptors that influence a person’s sleep- wake cycle, are likelier to start the day feeling fine despite having a shorter night’s rest than most people. That’s right — being a morning person may be built into your DNA!
It’s common knowledge that sleep does a body good, but how much slumber affects our overall health may surprise you. Here are three of the most unexpected ways sleep impacts our everyday lives. Less Pillow Time Equals More Pain If you’re having trouble sleeping due to chronic pain, you may have unwittingly trapped yourself in a cycle that’s wreaking havoc on your body. A poll by the National Sleep Foundation revealed that two-thirds of respondents who noted experiencing persistent physical discomfort weren’t getting enough
sleep at night. Additionally, a University of California, Berkeley study of 24 young adults determined that reduced sleep can disrupt the brain’s mechanisms for recognizing pain signals and relieving affected area(s). While losing sleep due to pain may be a classic chicken-or-the-egg scenario, it’s no secret that getting a proper night’s sleep is essential for restoring our bodies to proper health.
