Find the Best Recipe! Find Balance!

The phrase for the week is "Seek Balance."

Ever been to someone’s home and they make an incredible dish?  You ask for the recipe and get home and it never tastes quite the same?  I’ll tell you why—they leave out a key ingredient, an important ingredient.

Well, I’m not going to do that… I’ll let you in on a little secret—unless you are extremely organized, work, life balance is just a pipe dream!!!  I’m not telling you what I’ve heard, I’m telling you what I know! 

Early in my career I just couldn’t seem to keep up!  I would come in early and stay late.  My health suffered, my personal relationships suffered, and eventually, my work suffered.  I just wasn’t organized! (You can see me here at 21 years old at the desk of my first PR job)

I worked really hard on my organizational skills, I failed often—but I never gave up. 

There are countless books and seminars on time management techniques and organizational skills. 

Finding a technique is like finding a good diet.  For goodness sake, all the diets work-- you must find one that works for you and stick with it. 

I also found it helpful to tell someone of my desire to be organized.  Many times I was shamed into submission when I got off track.  Accountability is key.

I find balance by strengthening my organizational skills.
