Here’s an interesting article I thought I would pass on…
Kindle Singles Allows Authors To Publish Shorter Works
A small snippet:
“Ideas and the words to deliver them should be crafted to their natural length, not to an artificial marketing length that justifies a particular price or a certain format,” Grandinetti said. “With Kindle Singles, we’re reaching out to publishers and accomplished writers, and we’re excited to see what they create.”
It seems that no matter how hard I try… I can’t strike a balance. Maybe realizing that is the first step to finding it.
If you concentrate on one area of focus, all the others seem to suffer. And yet, they all need attention. Focus too much on business, the family suffers. Focus too much on family, the business suffers. Need to get that networking plan off the ground? RFP’s go out the window.
As a mother, I find “there aren’t enough hours in the day” a constant refrain.
So, I’m focusing. I’m not focusing on one particular area; I’m focusing on balance itself. What do I need? First, spirituality. I’m focusing on that to keep my own spirit light, and my priorities straight. Next? Health. I’m making sure to get enough rest, and eat properly. Then, I created a plan. I specified what systems weren’t working and revised them.
Life changes. Priorities change. What was important yesterday may, by necessity, not be what is important today. I’m focusing on keeping myself flexible, listening to my body, and creating systems that have the capacity for ebb and flow.
What am I missing? Have you found balance? Share, please, in the comments below.
