Somehow I let a week pass by and I was feeling a blog drought. I'm not sure anyone else was, but I have definitely decided this isn't about anyone else. Of course if I really didn't care about anyone else, I would write it all in a private diary so I guess if someone benefits from my ramblings that's a positive byproduct.
The big discussion these days seems to be time management... how do we do it better? It usually involves somehow learning to balance things better. I manage my time... but I know I could do it better. I watch a ton of tv. I procrastinate on facebook. I take long lunches and have vent sessions in my office. Do I do them all the time? No. Should I do them less? Probably. But, it is a question of priorities and balance. I could totally shut the door to my office and work a solid nine hours from 8-5 every day and probably not work so late, but then I wouldn't have a vested interest in the student-athletes I'm spending so many hours statting. I could definitely come home and read educational books or do extra work at home, but then I would not have the opportunity to share my life with other people.
I want to live a full life... life full of people and activities and experiences. I also don't want to live a life full of always doing and not stopping to appreciate it.. or feeling so caught up in the busy-ness of it all that I miss it. There is a balance. There is a way to do your homework on a bus trip so that you can avoid an all-nighter. There is a way to catch up with a long distance friend before knocking out some more work... or a thought-provoking blog. (*insert sarcasm here)
Let's do it better... I'm holding on to the hope it's possible to really live balanced.
In the meantime I'd love it if someone would come work the next couple of weekends for me so I can hang out with my friends and family coming to visit... Sweet, thanks!
