A Funny Book
There is, by the way, no mention of screaming or microwaves inside. I like the title though. So funny. This book is about life balance. She has tried the usual things like time management, prioritizing, delegating etc. Her conclusion is what she calls:
The Connection Solution
1. What should I do?
2. What do I want to do?
3. What do I need to do?
4. With whom should I connect?
I find these examples she cited as quite funny.
Before I leave on a business trip I have forty-seven things to do. As I prepare, I ask myself four questions. For example:
Q. What should I do before I leave?
A. Go to the charity board of director's meeting.
Q. What do I want to do?
A. Exercise
Q. What do I need to do?
A. Wash the clothes so the family will have some clean underwear when I'm gone.
Q. With whom should I connect?
A. My daughter Emily. The charity's board of directors will forgive me (or get over it), I can exercise on the road, and clean underwear every day is an overrated concept. ( I mean, who is going to ever know?)
I must try that on the boys. Clean underwear is an overrated concept. Nobody will know.
