Balancing Work and Life

May 27 2010

Because I travel so much, I constantly find myself watching the behavior of other people.  The variety of personalities always astounds me.  During a recent two week stint where I spoke at five different engagements in four different states, I couldn’t help but zero in on individuals who couldn’t sit still. 

Cell phone and impassioned discussions with work counterparts fill the air as the talkers stride down the airport halls.  I’ve heard individuals have cell phone conversations in bathroom stalls, along the street and during their grocery shopping excursions.  I swear competitions will evolve around who has the fastest draw off the belt in answering that urgent ring.

Work lifeHere Are My Two Important Questions For You to Answer:

  1. Do we really have to be that available? 
  2. What happened to “down” time?

During the fourteen day tour of bookings, other work surfaced.  Now faced with handling the keynote and training sessions as well as those business items piling up at home, stress continued to mount.

How did I know I was stressed? 

I woke up at 3:00 AM five nights in a row to make sure I hadn’t over slept the 6 AM wake-up call.  No peaceful rest for me…there was business to attend to!
