Balance: Work, Family And Friendships
Filed in archive Entrepreneurship by Greg Balanko-Dickson on April 12, 2007

longer hours, doing one more project or developing another idea.Some will argue "Yeah, but I have this deadline!" That may be true, and you should keep your commitments. The real question is whether or not you have managed your time well.
Entrepreneurs are some of the worst time managers. Not because they do not know how to manage time. Rather, they know how, they often have a misguided sense of priorities.
Answer these questions honestly:
- How many hours did you work in the last week, last month? STOP and think.
- How many hours did you work this same month, one year ago?
STOP, think about your answer to this question:
Is what you are planning to do right now more important than your spouse, kids or your friends?
Sometimes, it is more important, but often it is not. Have the courage to answer this question truthfully and then act upon it!
Change Something, Break The Pattern - Do Anything!
I suggest doing something different. Do something you would not normally do - something fun:
- Get outdoors
- Go for a walk
- Visit a friend
- Go for an expensive coffee
- Buy yourself an ice cream cone
- Go to a movie
