Do you have balance in your life?

I have the most difficult time balancing things in my life and keeping a balance. I get so focussed on ONE thing that I can't seem to focus on the anything but that one thing. For instance: When I first joined mylot I spent hours and hours every day on here. Now I sell my handcrafted jewelry and my hubby's art on our online etsy shop and when I first opened it I spent every available hour on there in the forums promoting my shop and totally lost interest in mylot. Now I have been asked to teach some classes to a spiritual community in the spring and I am so focussed on that and being online is more of a challenge. I'm trying to balance my life and do either certain activities on certain days or a little of each during the day. But I have to say finding balance is very difficult.
Do you have balance in your life with your interests, activities, work, family and such?

whats the meaning of balance if you aren't enjoying it and if you are enjoying the unbalanced condition why do you seek balance??. Try everything,love manythings,do something you love really

Heya! Long time no see... hope things are well.
I get like that a lot. Basically my focus switches on a daily basis. One week I'll be all about cooking and making everything from scratch, and the thought of eating store bought bread makes me want to scream. The next week I could care less what we eat, because I'm more interested in doing my makeup and coloring my hair. Then the next week I've lost interest in make up, but instead I'm on a health kick and working towards losing weight. In another week it will be something completely different.
All of those things are important in life and I wish I could balance them all at the same time, it just seems I lose interest quickly when my mind shifts to a new topic.

LOL Caos is the only balance I seem to have! I am a single parent, own my own companies and investment properties, so it seems between my son and my schedule I am forever running like a chicken with my head cut-off! But guess what I love it! I love being productive and making a difference. So somehow I find the time for my family,my work, and my community. The only wish that I have is that the day could be extended. If I had just another couple of hours I would be good.
