The Balancing Act of Pile Management
| |
| Piles, piles everywhere. We all have them. Things that require our attention but sometimes get lost in the shuffle. Debbie Lessin, "djthebalancelady" has been on a balance quest for over 15 years.

But now that tax season is over, Debbie has to face the "piles of her life", catch up and move on! Her approach and attitude make all the difference. After you read the article, you'll be thinking about all the pile of your life and how you can better balance them. Happy Pile Management! |

No Internet Monday...An Unbalanced Start to the Work Week
| |
| We take our internet service for granted. It's our communication link to the world. And yet when the technology gets the better of us, we are lost, confused and scattered. For this to happen on a Monday morning only means that the work week gets off to an truely unbalanced start. Handling this tech "fault line" can either set you off...or you can take the high road, roll with the punches and know that tomorrow will be another day....one where the internet connection might actually work! Debbie Lessin, CPA and self-proclaimed Balance Lady recently had such a Monday. Debbie always tries to roll with the punches, remembering of course that in the scheme of things, it's really just the internet! |

How Do You Achieve Work-Life Balance?
| |
| I received an email from a friend earlier this week entitled "Personal Balance in Demanding Times" with the following question:
"How can we balance our personal needs with the most pressing needs of our community and the larger world?"
Her email continued with some deeper questions including:
- How are you doing this balancing act?
- Who do you know who seems to balance well and what do they know?
- How does your life touch the life of the larger world and what would allow you to feed your personal life while making a difference "out there"?
- How can you feel satisfied you've given enough to yourself, your family and your community?
Some pretty deep stuff, right? All variations of questions I've asked myself over the years. Perhaps you have as well. |

The Realities of Life

Self-Discipline: A Balancing Act
| |
| Self-discipline is a balancing act. We are a collection of values, motivations, intentions, fears, potential, abilities, quirks, strengths and stories we tell ourselves. How all of this translates into self-discipline depends upon how aligned we are with our goals and how we balance priorities day to day. The balance you strike is reflective of your personal style of self-regulation. Are you happy with the way you balance your life or do you tend to let things slide a long time before you notice things are out of whack? One thing I notice about people who are content with their ability to regulate themselves is that they are aware of their priorities, they are clear about them, they take responsibility for them, they take time to focus on them and they have a way of balancing competing demands on their time. |
