Hi
Martin,
Thanks for this 'Hot Topic'. It certainly is a hot
topic in today's mad rush!
Your
words of wisdom about planning and then making sure
your focus and activities are aligned with your plans
make sense. I think there may be expectations (which
we sometimes put upon ourselves) to be all things
to all people (or at least, our organisation). This
is unrealistic and usually ends up flowing over into
our family life.

I
love this topic and thought I'd print it out to aid
my reflection and planning as am having four weeks
break (yippee!) starting from end of today. With work,
study and lots of gigs as a volunteer I often feel
something has to give and mostly it is 'me' as the
three teenagers at home wait for no (wo)man! My thanks
to Martin for this inspirational hot topic.
Let's
hear what you think
