Five Strategies for Achieving Balance

March 18, 2002

* "Integrating
 Identify what you want and create a lifespace to accommodate it.

* Narrowing
 Choose what's important, and eliminate the nonessential.

* Moderating
 Set limits on the time and energy you give to tasks and roles.

* Sequencing
 Set priorities - don't do everything at once.

* Adding Resources
Get the people, systems, and money you need to take the pressure off of you (Lee & King, 2001, p. 113)."
