You know, as in \u201cJUST GREAT\u201d. The kind of \u201cJUST GREAT\u201d that you sneer as you think \u201cthere is no way that I can do that\u201d. I have a home office, and when I hear about separating work time\/space from family time\/space I get jealous. Really jealous. My home life has spilled over into my dedicated work space, and my work stuff is scattered throughout the house.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, I\u2019ve gone through phases (like the one I\u2019m in now) where I try to separate the conjoined twins of work and family. I\u2019m trying to move a bunch of household stuff from my office so that I won\u2019t be tempted to work on it while I\u2019m supposed to be working. I\u2019ve moved some of the work stuff to a sectioned-off part of the basement so that it will clearly be removed from the rest of the household. I\u2019ve even tried the turning-off-the-light in my office at 5:00PM to denote the end of a work day and the beginning of family time.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, pretty much every time I do things like that, I slip back into a much more gray morass of work-life IMbalance.<\/p>\n<p>So I was out mowing part of our 14 acres this weekend. I had to wait until the rain was mostly blown and sun-dried from the overly long grass, so I got started much later in the day that I had planned. And it was much hotter. 90+ degrees, to be exact. And because we have the trifecta of poison oak, poison sumac, and poison ivy hiding in various places on our property, I have the pleasure of mowing in a long-sleeve shirt, sweatpants, and long socks. At least I can tell everybody I\u2019m \u201chot\u201d and mean it. The kids really seem to get a kick out of me asking them if I\u2019m Hot-or-Not. (OK, they don\u2019t really get a kick out of that, but that hasn\u2019t stopped me from asking them pretty much every time I go out to mow, and every time I come back in. Maybe I\u2019m the only one who thinks it\u2019s funny\u2026but I\u2019m not really sure.)<\/p>\n<p>Back to the point. I was mowing and it was hot. I was listening to a Podcast where Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income was talking about work-life balance. He made it sound so great. He talked about having a tiny one-bedroom apartment when he started out, but he had a little corner designated to his business. When he was working in that corner he was \u201cat work\u201d. When he wasn\u2019t in that corner he was not \u201cat work\u201d. He talked about buying his new house with a bona fide office. He talked about having a door he could close, and kids and a wife who respected that door. He talked about being able to shut off his brain from work stuff and turning it on for family stuff.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s when it hit me. As entrepreneurs, home workers, and whatever other label you might want to put on yourself, this kind of lifestyle isn\u2019t really about \u201cbalance\u201d. It\u2019s not about making sure that we invest the same amount of time, energy, and effort into work as we do into our families. It\u2019s not about putting on a blindfold (like Lady Justice) and balancing the scales. In reality, it\u2019s about going 110% after one part and then going 110% after the other. It\u2019s about having your brain churning and switching gears in an instant. It\u2019s about really focusing on one area and then trying to do the same on the other.<\/p>\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t mean that there isn\u2019t guilt. Heck, I worry about not spending enough time with the kids. I worry that I\u2019m not spending enough time on my business. I can\u2019t shut my brain off from one aspect while I\u2019m engaged in the other. I\u2019m working on it. Despite what my family will tell you, I really am trying. But I need to have a little more IMbalance for a while. I need to focus even more completely on one part and then the other.<\/p>\n<p>So for the next 12 weeks I\u2019m going to perform an experiment. First off, I\u2019m going to try to be more cognizant of when I\u2019m \u201cworking\u201d and when I\u2019m \u201cnot working\u201d. All the various addiction programs talk about recognizing the situation is one of the first steps to improvement, so this seems pretty obvious to me that I have to do this. I\u2019m also going to try and shut my brain off a little bit when I\u2019m with the family. My recent series of Facebook posts about the\u00a010 Daily Habits of Exceptionally Happy People really got me thinking about being more aware of what I\u2019m doing. Those 10 Habits are\u00a0going\u00a0to be part of the process over the next 12 weeks. I\u2019m going to focus on one of the habits for an entire week, not just a day, and try to really live up to them.<\/p>\n<p>In my mind\u2019s eye, I have a slightly different (some will say skewed)\u00a0vision\u00a0of work-life IMbalance. It\u2019s not where the teeter totter is perched equally above the ground on both sides. Where each of the riders is standing on tip-toe trying to keep the teeter totter from moving. It\u2019s not a perfectly\u00a0immobile\u00a0scale that is neither higher nor lower on one side. Nope, my teeter\u00a0totter\u00a0or scale is doing what it was designed to do, where one side is down, then up\u00a0while\u00a0the other side is moving in the\u00a0opposite\u00a0direction. The IMbalance is also Balance in the sense that everything works out in the end. My goal over the next 12 weeks is to see if I can be a bit more in control of the rapidity of the changes in direction. Rather than crashing into the ground on one side while the other person goes flying into the air on the other, I\u2019d like to be able to direct the shift in movement with a bit more control. While I love the feeling of going airborne and flying off the seat, the crash into the ground on the other side hurts like the dickens.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-pullquote su-pullquote-align-right\"><strong>NOTE<\/strong>: If you\u2019re like me, you may have wondered about where the phrase\u00a0\u201clike the dickens\u201d\u00a0came from. Unlike me, you might not have searched for it. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.phrases.org.uk\/meanings\/233450.html\">I saved you the time<\/a>. <\/div>\n<p>I hope you\u2019ll join me for the ride as I try to figure out this whole work-life IMbalance thing. My plan is to check in every week for the next twelve weeks and assess where I am, what\u2019s worked, what\u2019s failed, and generally try to chronicle the journey that I\u2019m on.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned\u2026and make it a great week!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All this work-life balance stuff I\u2019ve been listening to lately sounds great.
