I've been reading a lot of blogs lately where people talk about being very busy, not great at everything they do because there is a lot they are doing. Questioning whether they are over committed, spread too thin, not doing enough, etc. One of my favorite pieces of advice I ever heard was
"Be where you are"
If you are at work, be there. Don't let your mind wander to what you could/should be doing at home. If you are with your kids, be with your kids. Play with them, interact with them. Get off your blackberry or your computer or cell phone and be with them. On a date? Be there. Just be where you are.
Of course, the flip side of that is wherever you go, there you are. That may be a problem for some of us...
