Let’s face it; when was the last time you were only working on one thing at a time and only had one priority?

Exactly.

So how to you handle a multiple of pressures and priorities without feeing as if you’re juggling too many balls, worried you’re going to drop them all?

Communicating often and in real time thinking certainly helps. Using technology to keep your finger on the pulse of the pace of what’s happening, who’s doing what and when and status of where things are, what is needed and what is available to you in any single time frame will keep you on top of whatever you need to be handling at that moment.

Next, be a learner. Always be a learner. Recognize the world is ever changing and fields of practice are being invented even as you read this. Keep asking yourself the questions “What don’t I know? What do I need to retain and what is diluting my time and focus? What haven’t I thought of yet?” Be your own reality check so you pay attention to the rest….the rest of what you haven’t thought of, learned yet, or considered.

Then you can evolve your world and evolve within your world.

I leave you with this…”It is no longer enough to be smart — all the technological tools in the world add meaning and value only if they enhance our core values, the deepest part of our heart. Acquiring knowledge is no guarantee of practical, useful application. Wisdom implies a mature integration of appropriate knowledge, a seasoned ability to filter the inessential from the essential.” - Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer
