#485 one-third

If you count holidays and weekends, they constitute about one-third of the year.  It doesn't feel that way, but it is true.  Think about what impact that has:

> for those in the tourism or recreation industries, you can rejoice that consumers really do have a lot of disposable time

> for dieters or those exercising to lose weight, it means you really can't fall off the wagon every weekend and holiday and still expect to shed the pounds

> for those in office settings, you need to consider how you serve your customers and prospective customers during the one-third of the year that you are not there to answer the phone

> for retailers, it provides a bonanza of opportunities for themed sales

> for educators, you need to consider how to provide a year's worth of learning in a year minus one-third and summer

What opportunities lie in weekends and holidays for you or your organization?  Maybe you can start taking advantage of them today!
