Dear Friends of Balancing Act, 
Summer's around the corner, and so are the usual rounds of graduations, weddings, and end-of-school activities on top of the usual fare.
To help you out, I'm featuring three little questions that can help you decide how you spend your time. Also, a system for busy families to manage the time choices they've already made. And finally, if you're still feeling overloaded but without time and resources to take a traditional vacation, some tips for taking a mini one.
By the way, readers showered me with so many procrastination success stories last month that I decided to take my time getting out the May newsletter. Personal fave was from Nancy Metzger, who reported success with delaying her preparation of overstuffed potatoes till just before dinner. Why does this work? Otherwise, the dog eats them. Her prize, of course, is a copy of The Dog Ate My Planner.
And finally, if you don't know why Nancy's potato procrastination will not be a must for me, find out in this month's column, in which the merits of dog ownership are weighed.
Wishing you many in-the-moment moments with or without a dog,
Pat |
Decisionmaking is never easy where time is concerned. With so many opportunities to spend it, how can we decide what to take on?
