@prtini @CbusMarathon Sounds like a plan. I’m not running the race, though. I’ll be riding support for some friends due to stress fractures.

@mvnusid Hopefully, I’ll see you virtually for tomorrow’s @Cbusmarathon Ask the Race Director. Then, at the marathon, right?

@prtini great minds think alike. Hope all is well…it’s been too long since we crossed paths.

I LOVE this, Heather! Really great advice.

I would add “Focus on less to achieve more.” I came to a point at the end of last year where I realized I was doing a poor job of balancing work-life integration. I was involved in way too many commitments outside of my agency work (which always comes first in my professional world), and it was time to refocus. I closely examined everything I was involved in and made a short list of what gave me as much value in return for the value I was providing. As I got busier at work and took on more responsibilities, I wanted to focus on less outside of work, but make sure I did a kick a** job with whatever I chose to focus on. My hope was that new strategy would ultimately lead to me feel like I was achieving more.

And it worked! I started 2012 in a much better place and finally felt like I was getting closer to achieving work-life integration. It’s still a work in progress, and now everything is about to change again once these twins are born! But I definitely recommend anyone looking to achieve that balance should find out how they can achieve more by focusing on less.

@mvnusid Small world! They’re two of my favorites, too.

@docpr Good suggestions! Perhaps your #ReadySetPause can include art or music time. It’s all about designing your own day. Thx for reading!

@prtini I love your ten tips. I would add 2 things: 1) a daily nap after lunch, and 2) some kind of music or art–make it or enjoy it.
