I’m Back - Finding Balance?
I hope you have not been counting how many days it has been since I last blogged. Frankly, it’s embarrassing! From your point of view there is no good excuse. From my point of view the last month has been one of creation.
I’ve created an ebook series on Team Leader Essentials, completed a rough draft for a teambuilding book, launched a new site (http://www.clearthinkformanagers.com), and co-facilitated a workshop to 260 peers at an international conference. (I will definitely keep you updated as the book goes to press in September.)
My difficulty was in finding the balance between serving current clients, creating new courses, writing a book, and business development. I thought nothing had “fallen through the cracks” until I looked at the Team Fusion site and the blog button jolted my memory. How can something that was such a habit have vanished off my radar screen?! After pondering this for days, I’m still stumped.
A month ago I would’ve been smug about the excellent functioning of my system. Clearly, I’m wrong. Was it the system that failed? Was it me? So my question to you is: When you are working by yourself, how do you insure that all tasks for multiple projects are noted and executed by the deadlines?
I won’t even mention that I also “forgot” two birthdays, a vet appointment, and a sailing date.
Until next time...live like you mean it!
