SF #173 – Priorities: Relationships vs. Work vs. Goals

by

Having a hard time watching your priorities face off against one another?  Are you busy building a juggling act and yet you’re not an entertainer?  Does your relationship have to compete with your work and your goals for your attention?  Do you find that there’s not enough time in the day for not only what you have to do but what you want to do?  Sometimes the mere thought of everything on a to-do list will send people into a spin out of anxiety and depression – all the while knowing there’s not even enough time to waste on an panic attack.  How do successful people balance everything that needs doing with stuff they want to accomplish and a family life?

While out on an errant errand, Mordant crashes headlong into this very problem.  Listen in as the Level Up Guys shuck and jive, bob and weave through the rough rapids of a real life.  If you’d like to see how your Success Freaks handle the same problems with priorities you’re faced with everyday, balancing betwixt relationships, work, and goals, this is the show for you.

“What you think about, you bring about.”

Spending that much time with anyone, especially if personalities clash, can often make for a very volatile work environment.  Just know it’s not good enough to “sweep problems under a rug” and/or “stick your head in the sand” enough to ignore it.  You have to make a conscious choice to find positive ways to deal with unpleasant work situations and/or relationships.
