May/June 200253Balancing ActTheme of the Week: Unsqueezing Time Balancing Act Theme of the Week: Unsqueezing Time Saturday, June 29 Q. How do you pace yourself now that you're not in a nine-to-five job?A. Pacing is the issue. If you try to do too much too fast, you'll burn out. If you give in to the temptation to spend too much time on leisure pursuits, you'll rust out. The best solution I've found comes from the Strategic Coach program developed by Dan Sullivan. The idea is to divide your calendar into three types of days:Focus days, when you're focused on producing the specific outcomes that are the living out of your commitments. These are performance days. Like a baseball player, this is when the crowd is in the stands.
Buffer days, when you're getting ready for focus days. You're preparing, returning calls, keeping commitments, developing relationships.
Free days, 24-hour periods completely free from work-related activity. Rest and regeneration is the only point. I watch movies, get human again, and make time to be fascinated with my wife.
If you decide you want to keep Men of Integrity coming, honor your invoice for just $19.95 and receive five more issues, a full year in all. If not, simply write "cancel" across the invoice and return it. The trial issue is yours to keep, regardless.
