Back to School Special: Don't Forget to Achieve Balance

Let go of perfectionism Kate’s re-frame: Put out the first draft and let the audience co-create I can think of VERY few successful things I have created, developed, presented, implemented, or sold, that I felt was completely 100% perfect. Seeing everything as a first draft allowed me to produce my art and see my audience as collaborators. The result? I have some pretty cool products and some very amazing fans. Original advice: Limit time wasting activities and people Kate’s re-frame: Do five, 20-minute job sets every day This is a game I play with myself using my phone timer (it’s also called Parkinson’s law of productivity). I set a twenty-minute timer and race the clock to see how much I can get done. Then I set the timer again and again until I have done five ‘sets.’ I rarely finish all five but my productivity skyrockets when I self-impose these deadlines. Original advice: Re-structure your life (what does that even mean??) Kate’s re-frame: Buy back your life. A few things I have hired out: house cleaning, grocery shopping, meal delivery, cat litter delivery, toilet paper (all kinds of personal paper) delivery, driver’s ed., driving my kids, cooking, social media posting, SEO optimization, bookkeeping, accounting, and legal defending just to name a few. I want to try hiring an Uber once each week just to see what I can get done on my commute (I bet it is worth the $6.00 fare). Original advice: Manage your time Kate’s re-frame: Clock out. Literally set an end time for your work every day. If you need to purchase an actual time/card punch to set on your counter, go for it. Original advice: Manage your calendar Kate’s re-frame: Make some friends Did you know there are some people who stay busy with work because they are bored? These folks may be shy, introverted, scared, or socially anxious. They choose to be out of balance because it is easier than facing their issues. Surrounding myself with amazing friends and being an amazing friend are two of my goals for 2017. Want more tips for achieving balance?
