Hi Kent you are correct and I apreciate the question.
We have a huge burden on us having two houses and we have been remodling both. One in preparation for sale and one that we are living in. We are both looking forward to having these projects done.
The jist of your question should be am I living a balance life now that is sustainable. The Answer is no. I am not doing what I need to at work. I am coasting and have been for a year. So I do need to put more effort back into work.
I Think I have a better handle on my own demons that have led me to excess in the past and like I shared in an earlier post my ability to keep a balanced life is own of the most important things I can do for my own health and the health of my marriage.
One of the things that I need to quit doing is helping others on this board especialy in the newcomer section. I should use the time that I am spending in those activities on work. I have gained alot of insite from reading and posting to others but I really need to curtail this activity. So that I can give more of myself to work with out taking away from my wife and family.
I also am working at being better at delegating tasks at work and not feeling like I have to do everything myself.
