Random Life Talk: A "Juggling" too many!

In today's challenging world, opportunities often come less often for an individual. Yet when they come it is best to try and grab them. Or so goes a "standardized" thought process (more of an idea than something on ground!). Yet does it means that we "pick" every "opportunity". Well, motivation gurus, experts etc. might advice you anything but the answer is that do not meddle in everything or pick everything. However, of late I have been in a similar situation. I recently joined a Program for Personal reason. I did not join unknowingly or without research. However, since the last 10 odd days life circumstances have developed in a way that I am unable to give proper focus to this Program. Now it feels like I have picked up too many things in life to "juggle". Yes, I have some pressures to be better in many aspects. Yet with too many things, one is unable to do justice to a lot of things. Now I have rather slowed a bit. Trying to do one thing at a time, even with many distractions and constraints. A lesson learnt. Often controlling one's mind can be pretty difficult. Anyways, enough of serious talk. What's up at your end in life? Big challenges? Big wins or great news? Do share.

You could get rid of a wife and that would give you more time for other things...

@DaddyEvil It is rather about things related to earnings and career as of now. But yes, family health issues do put a constraint.

The best thing to do in life is to focus on one thing at a time. Trying to focus on several things gets you nowhere..so, you did the right thing.. focusing on one thing at a time

@Wrexxo Yes that would be a better course of action. At least one can focus on one thing at a time in a better way.

Stop take a breather decide which things are important to do first & prioritise. Deal with one thing well at a time rather than try so many things at once & fail miserably. You are not super human! Be kind to yourself!

@garymarsh6 Thanks for your advice. I think this should be my course of action. Too many things at times seem theoretically possible but run into practical issues.

It's strange how, as soon as you take on something new, your life suddenly gets busier and busier.
