  All year long we strive for improvements.  Squeezing waste from every corner of organizations,  Posting new videos, or trying to eliminate that pesky root cause.  Whatever it is you do, labor day is for each and everyone of us.  Here are some important things to keep in mind on your day off:
1. Rest
  Studies have shown that taking a day off can actually increase your productivity when you return to work.  Taking a day off doesn't mean sneaking in an email here and there, it means rest.  Spend time with your family, BBQ, but most of all enjoy the day.  Trust us if you're like most hard working people you'll be going crazy by the first day back and you will get a lot of work done.

2. Use the labor day excuse
  Believe it or not the first day back is a great time to ask someone you never talk to, "hey what did you do with your day off."  This is a great way to get to know some of your co-workers, share pictures and laughs.  If you're on the improvement journey it may give you an opportunity to pull someone new onto the team.  

3.  Share with your family
  Sometimes we get so busy with life, work and everything else that we don't get anytime to share with the people closest to us how work is going.  Labor day is a great opportunity to share with children, grandchildren, wives or friends how life, work or anything else is going for you.  Just remember to listen too.

  Whether you have the day off, or you're pulling some overtime we would like to wish each and everyone of you a wonderful labor day weekend.  Enjoy!
