We are all busy. Cell phones, computers, email, LinkedIn and Twitter should make our lives easier and can be wonderful teams to save us time.

The problem is that it is in our nature to continue to expect to fill all of the time we save. We have created a world where the expectation is, and will continue to be, the ability to do more with less – especially less time.

When we get up in the morning and when we get home from work it is time to put away the cell phone, close the laptop and pay attention to the things that really matter.

Human beings are actually NOT capable of multi-tasking. Prioritize the tasks before you. Get grounded with yourself. Get grounded with your family every day in every instance. Compartmentalize your work and BE PRESENT with things that really matter.
