"Consider the postage stamp, my son. It secures success through its ability to stick to one thing till it gets there." ~ Josh Billings

This happens to be one of my biggest weaknesses. We quickly learn that we must multitask in order to keep or advance our place in the corporate world. Yet, that same mentality can wreck havoc in our personal lives.

Take a breath and focus on one thing at a time. Turn your phone's ringer off. Give your children 100% of your attention. You'll be surprised at the improvement in quality and reduction in edits and misunderstandings. You may even find that, by focusing your attention, you'll actually increase your time and money.

If you are worried about your productivity, I highly recommend the Pomodoro Technique. I use it and love it.

"By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it." ~ George Burns

Sometimes it's the remembering that's the hardest part! Have you ever walked into a room and not remembered why? Or turned around on your office chair to reach something, gotten interrupted and then blanked? Grrr.

Now then, tell me why we figure things out just as we're on our last trimester of life? Imagine what we could do if we could figure ourselves out and know about life when we're younger! I'm 32 and going, Lord, I've gone through 1/3 of my life (if I'm lucky). I'm making a determined effort to empower my son and give him a head start on life by avoiding my mistakes.

Let me tell you, this requires brutal honesty and some definite embarrassment. LOL
