Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Balance is often wrongly measured in time spent doing different things. I propose it’s more about the energy spent, not time. For example, we can’t exercise anywhere close to the hours we work each day. But we can make sure that we are consistently exercising every week, 20-60 minutes each time. And by consistently, I mean 3-5 days a week. Every week. All year long. Year after year.

There is one key to balance and only one, no matter what any guru tells you. Here’s the crazy thing, most people completely disregard it. You don’t need a guru, or even me, to tell you how to achieve balance.
All you have to do is ask yourself a simple question, “Do I feel like there is a decent semblance of work life balance in my day to day life?”

You know the drill, there is only one team that wins the championship. Only one team that carries the trophy. There’s no shame in second, but there’s also very little glory.
And it was interesting to know that every girl except the goalie was on the team I watched last year. Couldn’t believe it. The teamwork, skill and sheer hustle was transformational. I told Katie (16) this and she understood. I also congratulated her on kicking the winning goal.

Why can’t we do it all? We can dream of doing everything, but there’s this menacing rival called reality. Yesterday I wanted to go with my Family to our relative’s U17 soccer game. It wasn’t at Disney, so I stayed home and worked.
After the girls’ game, they went to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park. I missed that too. Can’t do it all. But I was amazingly productive.
Today (January 3, 2012) I’m headed to Disney World to watch Katie and her teammates play in the U17 Soccer Championship.
PS. I’ll get back to short and pithy. This writing 90 days ahead experiment is just that, an experiment. You’re still experimenting to get better too, right?
