BALANCE IS BULL$#@!
Defining Priorities To Find Peace Of Mind
With all the discussion about how to achieve work-life balance, we have overlooked a big problem with this idea: our lives are not supposed to be balanced with equal time for everything. When every priority claims itself as the most urgent, and there always seems to be more to do than time to do it, maintaining focus on your top priorities can be difficult.
Can you be the executive who thrives at business, the parent who volunteers at their child’s school, the friend who maintains an active social life, and yet still remain fit and fun? Maybe for a short time, but it certainly isn’t sustainable.
There is really no such thing as work-life balance. It’s BULL$#@! and we are making ourselves crazy trying to find it amidst the overload of information that characterizes life today.
- Kick out the guilt about not being “balanced”
- Identify your priorities by looking at the areas of your life that matter to you
- Regain control and focus
- Develop a personal and professional goal setting model
- Devote yourself to what matters
