I'm in the process of whittling down and focusing on just a few, good things. Getting rid of useless time-wasters, that aren't going anywhere, so that I can laser-focus in an effort to, number one, be more successful, and, number two, get off the computer more often. It feels so great getting rid of some of the stuff! I even cleaned off my desk yesterday. Laser focus, laser focus!

Ha, I got my husband on twitter, though! I started him two accounts – one for his business (he's a contractor) and one for our private Twitter family-room. It has my mom and dad, my brothers and their wives, my hubby and I – and now my sons say they want in on it, too – it's really cool.

Ah, yes, I also get upset when my husband answers the phone or his celfone while we're having a heated argument. Until I discovered the joys of social networking that also does magic to my traffic… Now, we agreed to spend the meal times–lunch and dinner–with the children. Our celfones are in silent mode and the computers are out of sight. A little discipline works ;-)

Yep, your right. Some of the online social stuff is really invasive. Learning to control the online stuff is really a matter of discipline. Balance is important. Nobody works 7/24, even if they like to create a persona that suggests that.

I still prefer to meeting my friends and loves one face to face rather using the “social online” like Twitter and Facebook.

Powerful Jim!

Here we are away for the weekend and you see where I am spending time right now. But we just got here and by the morning I plan to be caught up on what I need to do. The rest will wait til Monday.

I'll be giving an online presentation later this month to one of the largest online business associations in existance and want to use today's flip in that presentation. I'll be speaking on Fearless Parenting and work life balance for Mompreneurs.

Love how you are listening to your best friend in this matter. My challenge for you if you are willing to receive it, is to give us a follow up to this flip. You said you make sure to spend time with the fam up until the time the children go to sleep and then back to work you go. I was listening for where you've calendared yourself and your wife into your schedule. Kid time as you likely know is not personal rejuvination time or couple time either. So let us know how you have chosen to respond as a couple (aside from being parents). Let us grow with you my friend.

There's a fearless parent in all of us. Seen yours lately?

P.S. This very flip was in the forefront of my mind when you put yourself out there to mentor us recently. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of someone as filled with compassion as you are at your level. So thanks for letting us get to know the real man. You inspire us Mr. Kukral!

Good points.. I'm a little ashamed to say it — but I am on the computer too much and I need to manage my time better. I am going to try my very hardest to work on this : ] It's gotta change!
