July 2009

..ok, ok...today is a busy day you know? Give me 5 mins...

...ok. Sometimes it just comes down to priorities. I was doing a MicroStation upgrade presentation this morning and mentioned priorities. I was going to say that once you start looking at element + level + reference, you could get yourself into a whole lotta trouble and end up needing to prioritise your prioirities (you try typing that multiple times). But I didn't say that...thought that might confuse my glazed audience, and besides, it wasn't..you guessed it, a priority.

Anyway, in the grand scheme of things life can go the same way. You juggle so many issues you get to the point where your priority list needs prioritising itself...or you go insane. I nearly went insane last night, but half an hour of "Property Ladder" on tv numbed my brain down so much I could finally see the way ahead again.

Which leads me on to saying no. Sometimes something has got to give and that doesn't mean your body or your mind. Set your boundaries, say no and give yourself a break. Make yourself the priority and reap some rewards personally. So, apologies folks, but this editorial just sank to the bottom of the list...I'm off to the gym.
