Hey, I know what you're thinking: If I could just get up five minutes earlier every day and spend ten more minutes with my kid in the afternoon and even just three minutes less on my e-mails at night things would be different; a lot different.
Sorry, pal. It doesn't work that way. It just doesn't. And I hate to break it to you at this late stage in the game, but the thing is: it never did work that way.
Now listen carefully: the reason you can't have it all is simply because
there is no all. There are only incompatible wants that only seem to
go together because someone else says so. These people are wrong.
Look around you: Balance is achieved when the structure supports
nothing beyond what is necessary.
So...what is necessary?
