They Are Number One

I just spent the last few days with my son and I fear that he may not have received as much daddy time as he would have liked. I'm not sure if it's true or not but the fact that I'm thinking this tells me I could have done better at being present with him.

One of the most difficult parts of owning a business is that my brain is constantly thinking about things that need to be done. However, do they really need to be done is the question.

I left work on Thursday afternoon but technically worked until Friday night (late) and I didn't really start to feel relaxed until Saturday afternoon. I had this booked into my calendar but the business was still pulling at me.

Life is full of people and things pulling at my attention. I don't believe this will ever change. Actually, I believe there will be more and more things asking for my attention as my life progresses.

So what to do?

Prioritize. Figure out what is most important and put these things FIRST. Remember, there is a big difference between the seemingly urgent things in our lives and the important.

My family is important to me. They are number one. Although my business is also important, it can wait a day here and there. It already gets the majority of my attention.
