Priorities & Quality Control

     We're all busier than we'd like to be, bombarded from all sides by varied demands on our time & attention. "Time-poverty" is a good descriptor. A common way of handling all this is to ignore many of these demands, ourselves, our families, friends ... We even feel we do a suboptimal job of tasks we readily agree to & should enjoy doing, because we feel bugged & overworked. This is a sure recipe for burnout.
     We clearly need to prioritize and say NO to tasks we cannot do well within a reasonable time-frame. Quality control refers to both our work AND quality of life - the two are inseparable.
     We must reduce quantity AND increase quality. We can & must learn to adopt a mindful way of being. See: http://mindfulnessforeveryone.blogspot.ca/2014/02/485-intentionally-opening-awareness.html
