Hi all,

I don’t know how many of you are also a member of AWIS (association for women in science) but they are having a series of teleseminars titled “Strategies to Deal with Your Career and Work-Life Balance Challenges”. They start october 14th and go through Nov 19th…

It is all about letting things go. The kids don’t need a bath EVERY night. The house doesn’t need to be spotless. The grass could be a little long before it gets cut. You can outsource – neighbor kids actually mow our lawn now and we gave in and got maids every other week – both money well spent if you can afford it! You don’t need a “House and Garden” garden. Dinner out of a box is OK.

Focus on what matters – you’ll never regret that the carpet wasn’t clean, you will regret not playing ball with the kids.

And remember – better is the enemy of good enough. Know when enough is enough. Some things will never be perfect, so don’t keep trying to get it there.

I wish I had a magic bullet of answers here! But the truth is, with two kids, my own scientific consulting business, a NASA grant, and several web blogs, I’m always a bit on the hairy edge of getting everything done too. I think maybe it’s just this time of life … there’s just so much to do!

Great article. I think you hit the nail on the head with priorities. Lets face it, we are all really busy, and if you are not careful you can end up being controlled by the tyranny of the urgent, constantly putting out fires. Prioritizing and planning your work, and then working your plan, is a great step towards getting the most important things done.
