Do you feel like a juggler?

Do you feel like you have so much to do which calls for your attention that you have serious doubts you can do it all?

You have work schedules, which change all the time in spite of your best planning. You are somewhat at the mercy of the schedules and whims of others, no matter how well you try to orchestrate what you do.

You have family commitments, or significant other commitments, and/or friendship commitments that you would like to put the best of yourself into. Maybe you have community commitments and volunteer commitments of different sorts that also mean a lot to you.

If you are self employed you likely have the DOER genes that others value. People probably admire your abilities to get things done. People may well wonder how in the world you do all you do.

Maybe YOU wonder how in the world you do all you do.

Are you doing too much? Or are you geared toward what you are doing in a pushing kind of way that comes from much determination and a picture of things that sees no other way to do it?

Are you enjoying what you are doing and how you are doing it? If you feel pushed and stressed and on the edge, I doubt you are enjoying it too much. I have been there.

I have always loved the craft of construction. Often enough I have enjoyed the excitement of the work, of different people working together to create.

And, as you know from my blog, the relationships among everyone involved have been highly important to me and now form the basis of my focus.

If your personal circus is one that you enjoy, great! If it is one that leaves you stressed and worn down, that is trouble.

Here are some links to sites that I have a lot of respect for, that might be of help. These are some great people:

www.jasonstein.com Jason Stein is a personal coach, trainer and presenter who helps with personal efficiency, personal meaning and personal success. He helps you do your business well while being more in tune with yourself.

www.monkatwork.com Adam Kayce of monkatwork addresses similar issues in a somewhat different fashion.

www.thedisquiet.com Dave Schoof of thedisquiet, mentioned previously in my blogging, addresses the dis-ease that many men experience to one degree or another. He is a wonderful resource. Dave also is a coach and trainer.

All these men provide some wonderful resources to help with personal focus, fulfillment and success. All are worth looking into.

In the near future I will provide links to more resources.

And by the way, as some of my readers here will know, any of what I have written about today can apply to women, too. So, welcome women!

Here is to an enjoyable circus…
