The idea had grabbed me that if I would just stick to a theme I could knock out posts in nothing flat. I&#8217;d be rocking and rolling and helping the world become a better place. You know, the whole &#8220;I can change the world for better&#8221; ideal that we&#8217;ve all had from time to time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So I started the series, and wouldn&#8217;t you know it, but life happened. I got a couple more posts written and more life happened. I was plugging away at my 12-part series, but so many ideas were popping into my brain for blog posts that I couldn&#8217;t focus on the series. And I felt guilty writing posts that weren&#8217;t in the series, because I&#8217;d made a commitment to my readers (you) that I was going to get this series done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sometimes I had a great idea for a post and just\u00a0<strong>had<\/strong> to write it&#8230;so I warped it into a post in the series, no matter how poor the fit. Sometimes I had a great Work Life IMBalance idea that just disappeared on me before I could get it captured somewhere so I could remember it. On at least three occasions I sat at my computer wracking my brain for that\u00a0<em>next great post idea<\/em> that I couldn&#8217;t remember&#8230;for hours in at least one situation. It was frustrating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I had created a structure that sounded great on the surface, but I didn&#8217;t follow the advice of my 4th Grade teacher, Mrs. Pomplin. I hadn&#8217;t written and outline\u00a0<strong>before<\/strong>\u00a0I started writing. I\u00a0<em>sort of<\/em> knew where I wanted to go with the series, but I didn&#8217;t have a real roadmap. I didn&#8217;t have enough of the structure completed to be able to actually sit down and attack the problem on a regular basis. So I would have to wait for inspiration to hit&#8230;but it had to be just the right inspiration. At the right time. In the right place. Having named my blog\u00a0<strong>Hectic<\/strong>-Dad, you already know the rest of the story&#8230;inspiration, timing, and location didn&#8217;t work out all that often.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Even more salient was the fact that I was getting frustrated between Work Life IMbalance posts. I had so much I wanted to say&#8230;but as I&#8217;ve already mentioned, I felt guilty writing anything outside the series. I did write a few posts that had nothing to do with the series, and frankly they felt liberating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So dear reader, I&#8217;m going to admit that this series was a huge learning experience for mean. From one viewpoint, it could be called a failure, since I&#8217;m not going to finish the full 12 posts (and definitely note going to finish them by the self-imposed 12-week deadline). From another vantage though, it&#8217;s been a huge success&#8230;for me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I learned a lot about myself and how I want to communicate my ideas. While deep-down I want to be a very structured person, this blog isn&#8217;t the place for that structure. At least not at this time. I&#8217;m also evaluating whether this is the place that I really want to preach about\u00a0<em>productivity<\/em> in general, or whether I simply want to focus on making your hectic life as a parent more fulfilling and less stressful. Being\u00a0<em>productive<\/em> in the business sense is a bit askew to that idea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I&#8217;ll also let you in on a little secret. I discovered that I&#8217;m kind of wordy!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Yeah, you already knew that, so you can stop shaking your head. I\u00a0<em>sort of<\/em> knew it. I mean, I&#8217;ll frequently write something like &#8220;&#8230;so making a long story short (as if I&#8217;ve ever done that before)&#8230;&#8221; in my emails. I have had a sense that I&#8217;m a prolific writer. But I never really thought about it until I started to read my blog in comparison to others. Several folks that I really admire write these amazing posts&#8230;and has very, very few words in them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I realize that I&#8217;m still probably going to be verbose. Loquacious. Garrulous. Talkative. Even voluble. I might even be wandering, rambling, or lengthy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But that doesn&#8217;t mean that I have to be boring. I might be, at times, but my goal is to be interesting to you, and maybe even be a bit of a help. To ensure that you&#8217;re interested and helped, I need to be engaged and excited about what I&#8217;m doing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So I&#8217;m tearing a sheet out of <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/thisisyourlife\">Michael Hyatt&#8217;s playbook<\/a>&#8230;sort of. \u00a0He recently re-engineered and re-envisioned his very successful podcast and website <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/thisisyourlife\">ThisIsYourLife<\/a>, despite the fact that it was a roaring success. One of the reasons that he did it was that he had gotten dissastisfied with the actual production of the podcast. I would paraphrase his reasoning as it had become <em>work<\/em> rather than <i>fun<\/i> for him. I don&#8217;t know if he&#8217;d agree with the paraphrasing, but that&#8217;s sure how I interpreted it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So, to make a long story short (as if I&#8217;ve ever done that before) [OMG,\u00a0<strong>D\u00e9j\u00e0 vu<\/strong>] I&#8217;m going to kind of start over with this blog. I&#8217;m going to try and pick up where I left off before I spent a couple months traveling down a road that led us to where we are today, but not to where we want to be. I&#8217;m currently working on a bit of an outline that would make Mrs. Pomplin proud. The idea is to provide a rough roadmap for where I want all of us to head on our shared journey. But unlike most of my prior roadmaps, I&#8217;m perfectly willing to head off on side-adventures, with posts that seem to make sense at the time. But with the outline\/roadmap I&#8217;ll be able to decide if we&#8217;re headed to a new destination or if we need to return to the main road and continue where we were headed when the side-adventure is complete.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So this is the final post in my 12-part series on Work Live IMbalance. If you haven&#8217;t read the other posts, don&#8217;t worry, I can sum the entire series up pretty succinctly:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Life and Work will always be in a state of IMbalance. You just have to figure out how to swing the teeter totter back the other way when you need to.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00a0See, it is possible for me to be succinct!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once upon a time (well, to be exact around July 21st of 2014) I had this grand idea about writing a series of blog posts all based on the same theme of\u00a0Work Life IMBalance.
