They tell us success requires a laser-like focus on a single goal. Then they suggest we create a work-life balance. They say it is necessary to spend equal time on our finances, personal growth, health, career, family, relationships, social activities, spirituality, creativity, attitude, and amusement. The demands are overwhelming, and the wheel of life bumps over us imitating the proverbial bus.
The creatives among us are perhaps more sensitive to the underlying need for harmony. We wrestle with the tension, channeling it into our creations. The stress creates conflict, which we try to harness and incorporate into our work. If we are successful, we convey those feelings to our readers. It allows us to form a connection and tell a story that resonates.
How do you maintain balance in your life?

Simple answer… I don’t. I do try, but fail miserably. I always try to do at least one thing every day, do it well and finish it, so not all bad I suppose…

Balance seems like an impossible goal sometimes. But I do love having things done. 👍💗

Simple answer – One day at a time! I prepare a “To-Do” list daily and what doesn’t get accomplished on that day gets carried over to the next day. Should I ever continually carry one particular task over and over, at one point I look at the task and determine – Is it merely too hard to do or does it really matter whether or not it gets done. Once the decision is made, I either toss it or finally do it. As for balance, being able to share the nonsense in my head with my writings is what provides me with balance. And I am a firm believer in the adage “One day at a time!”

Yes I really dislike when one item keeps rolling over from one day to the next. Deleting it is always a good idea…. except when it is one of those important things. There is just no winning some days. 😊🌷
