If you are sitting at your desk reading this on the last day before Christmas - you are working too much!

One of the advantages of being an independent product developer is you have quite a bit of freedom in choosing how and when you work or don't work.

Sure, there are times when you absolutely have to work longer hours, burning the midnight oil to finish a pressing project. But now is not one of those times.

Now is the time to be with family, friends, and loved ones.

This is a special time of the year, and you owe it to yourself and the people in your life to spend time with them, not with your computer.

And if not Christmas, when?

So push back from your computer and go spend time with your family.

And take photos!

Here's wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
