Last night, I stopped having fun after giving thinking on an author’s marketing decisions and then defending it against the input of other people who are not in the publicity or publishing business.
While I think layman’s opinions and outside thinking are so very important, it grinds me when my downtime turns into doing work. It’s something I can accept when the request is in-bound as an e-mail. Not when it’s in-person.
I don’t think work-life balance really exists, although downtime has got to be downtime or else you’re always going to feel like you’re under fire.
The way to manage these kinds of situations, I think, is to make sure clients know you’re always available, and that office hours are office hours. Work that has to be done after hours is called an emergency and it will show up on their monthly invoice in the form of an emergency.
Crisis PR is costly because bad behavior is, too. So is letting people step over your boundaries.

Every week, Tebow picks someone who is suffering, or who is dying, or who is injured. He flies these people and their families to the Broncos game, rents them a car, puts them up in a nice hotel, buys them dinner (usually at a Dave & Buster’s), gets them and their families pregame passes, visits with them just before kickoff (!), gets them 30-yard-line tickets down low, visits with them after the game (sometimes for an hour), has them walk him to his car, and sends them off with a basket of gifts. Home or road, win or lose, hero or goat.
