Multi-tasking is a moral weakness.

I wish I could claim credit for that line, but I borrowed it from Slow Down Now by way of ZenHabits via LifeHacker. This article on ZenHabits discusses some tips that we can all use to slow down the pace of our hectic daily life. It made for good reading...wonder if I can put any of it into practice.

For more of my thoughts on multi-tasking, check out my latest New Work Order podcast. Please note that I did not say my last New Work Order podcast. I've got new material on its way, so please be patient for just a bit longer.

Sometimes I love my life, sometimes I question my choices...

It's almost 1 AM on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I'm sitting in my parent's living room floor while the rest of my family snoozes away (and has been doing so for a good 2 hours now.) I just finished working for the night on some project work coming due on Monday.

I would like to complain about having to do this, but then I couldn't be thankful that I had time to trade off my kids with my parents on Wednesday. I couldn't be thankful about taking time to see Beowulf in 3D with my wife on Wednesday night. I couldn't be thankful about sleeping late Thursday morning, eating a relaxing meal with my in-laws, seeing August Rush Thursday night, cleaning my house Friday morning, and spending the rest of the weekend with my family.

Yep...I would like to complain about working late tonight or that I'll be up most of the night after I get home tomorrow. But I won't. I'm not that stupid.
