Many of us tend to feel the need to have more than 24 hours in a day .There just doesn't seem to be enough time to get everything done. Maybe that's because we have too many things on our plate. Maybe its time to think about getting rid of some of them, prioritizing others and coming up with ways to de-stress and find the way to reduce the clutter in our head.
I spoke on this topic just this past weekend (May 3) at the Iowa Broadcast News Association annual convention. It dealt with identifying why we are so busy (see this great piece on You tube for the truncated explanation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43noE0QS1IQ ) But it also covered ways to to take the business out of life in an effort to find some balance as well as how to manage change when it hit us square in the face.
The bottom line for the latter is to recognize the aspects of change after it takes place. We resist it...we are then indifferent to it...we have to go through its implementation and eventually, comes acceptance. Recognizing those four steps then next time you get a phone call or an email or a person to person message that upsets the apple cart we should remember those four phases.
In the end doing so will make the process of going through change a little less daunting and fearful. You will spend less time fretting about it so you can use your energy for more positive endeavors.
