Stop right there. Put the phone down, close the calendar & the laptop and repeat after me, “Serenity Now.” Ok, that may not help, but take a breath or two.
On average, my calendar is pretty jam-packed. As part of my position at C.H. Dean as Corporate Relations Manager, my job is to get out in the community and be a cheerleader for the region. That comes with its own set of pros and cons. Usually the cons are the time commitment and always being on the go.
Fortunately, I am at a time in my life that I am able to do this. I do not have kids or a serious relationship, and when my evenings aren’t filled with running around on the golf course or at the gym (BWHAHAHA), I am usually out networking.
But what about those that may not have a lot of free time. How do you balance all the things on your work plate as well as on your social plate?
Pro Tip #7 - You are not going to change the world overnight
This is something I have to continually tell myself. I want to do so much and help as much as I can, but when all is said and done, you can only do so much in a day. As I mentioned in “Passion Speaks Louder than Actions,” define what you are most passionate about. Then set goals that are attainable and measurable with realistic time frames.
