As you can see you wrote this two weeks ago and I'm just making my way over. Your life sounded very familiar. My biggest tip is be kind to yourself. When I could not keep all the balls in the air, I was consumed with guilt which stressed me out. We can't do it all and we were never meant to. You tap into what is important and if the other things slip, life will indeed go on. Hi Adele – I nodded and laughed in complete sympathy.

Donald - It's so good to see you! Thanks for the update. It sounds like you're doing well balancing life (must be the yoga lessons!). As your winter approaches, I am looking forward to my summer.

Being very busy here and not quite in the same industry as yourself, yet needing to read much techy stuff, has meant I've wandered away from tweets. I am reminded as I write that it's a very rich source of ideas and inspiration, but as winter's eyes are upon me I'm going to yoga practise 2-3 times a week. And when the sun shines I wander shuffling through the golden and brown leaves proliferating. It's all simply healthier for me, and even getting an iPhone for work does, I find keep me nicely away from visiting the keyboard out-of-hours! So all the best to you and yours Cheers Donald [southernlight] Hi Adele

Or turn off your twitter app completely for a block of time. Fewer spontaneous interruptions = more productivity and focus. Try setting your update/refresh buttons to once an hour (versus whenever).
