I guess I need to read the book, as my first impression is if you try to integrate all these areas, you will be at a little league game talking to another parent about taxes and promoting your CPA firm, and then when you are at work you are talking to others about your family, etc. And maybe that isn’t so bad… incorporating all these aspects into the one whole person you are. But I would still want to concentrate on where the circles don’t overlap… sometimes you truly have to escape or get away from one element and concentrate on another. So later you return to the other element, refreshed. Brenda C. Wallace, CPA Vice-President HARDING, SHYMANSKI & COMPANY, P.S.C. Certified Public Accountants and Consultants Our Goal: Your Success!

Now the time is available but wife and kids are long grown up or gone and I am still trying to get my breath. I will try to do some of the 14 minutes in the next sixty plus years.

We have a tendency to focus and prioritise our work related activities. Why not look at the social aspects as high priority. Put spending time with your kids in the evening ahead of another meaningless report that may not even get read.
