@christijolson
Balancing passions & career…
In today’s connected world can you have it
all? Work. Life. Balancing somewhere in
between? @christijolson
The Balancing Act
@christijolson
How much does it weigh?
@christijolson
Chart your course. Define your path.
@christijolson
“A journey of a thousand
miles begins with a single
step.” ― Lao Tzu
Set 2-3 Personal & Professional Goals
@christijolson
Personal Goals
• Become a Mother
• Run 50 miles
• 50 Races by 50
Professional Goals
• Work at Microsoft
• Find something I’m
passionate about and do it!
• Director by 40
• Give back thru volunteering
Take small steps and break them apart…
This collection of small goals, all completed in the direction of one great
big goal, helps you to create an incredibly powerful snowball effect.
Taking action is better than taking no action.
Focus on what’s important. If you don’t know, ASK!
Go from tactical to finding ways improve/enhance/create processes.
Ask for opportunities. Ask for help.
@christijolson
Individual Contributors aka Employees
Have regular 1:1’s and you set the agenda
Status Update
Road Blocks (if any)
Performance & Career Focus
Listen.
What is important to your employees?
Are you giving them opportunities to succeed (and fail?)
Remove roadblocks that stand in the way of your employees being
successful.
@christijolson
Managers
Proactively.
How to deal with someone you’ve made angry: http://bit.ly/hbr-anger
Listen.
@christijolson
RescueTime.com
TrackTime.com
How are you spending your time?
@christijolson
SelfControl: http://bit.ly/self-ctrl
StayFocusd, AntiSocial, Freedom
Technology to keep you focused:
Own your calendar. Be disciplined.
@christijolson
Block time for getting projects done.
15-30 minute meetings
Know when to say “Yes” vs “No”
Create time for what’s important to you.
Or just get a Windows Phone and sync all your email & calendars directly on your phone…
Prioritize what’s important to you, put it on
your calendar.
• Set-up Rules & Folders
• It’s okay to archive and delete
• Declutter your inbox: Sanebox, Boomerang,
GmailMeter
Auto Responders?

Technology can help guide you, but only
you can run your life. @christijolson
Going back to the original question…
“You pile up enough tomorrows, and you’ll find
you are left with nothing but a lot of empty
yesterdays.”
— The Music Man

Editor's Notes

  1. "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.   If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an Ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "and that's the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."
  2. By taking tiny steps and making regular progress, you’ll look back in a month or a year and realize how much momentum you’ve actually built up by taking one small action every day. This collection of small goals, all completed in the direction of one great big goal, helps you to create an incredibly powerful snowball effect... They may feel insignificant to do one at a time — after all, what can one little tweet do? — but taking action is better than taking no action.
