Ask the Readers: how to stay focused during major life changes

by Jen (June 30, 2008)

I talked to someone the other day who is moving across country, planning a wedding and changing jobs. All at the same time.

I completely flaked (notice the slowdown in posting here) just from an unexpected move across town a few weeks ago. It was all I could do to move and show up at my job. Everything else - this website, my family, my friends, my hobbies and passions - all got shifted to the back burner. It’s been almost two months and I’m still not caught up to the point where I can do everything I was doing before I started moving.

So I turn to you, my readers, to ask for your tips on how to stay focused when a major life events take over all your time and energy? How do you continue to be there for people you care about? How do you find time to relax and keep yourself sane? Do you just accept that some things have to go on the back burner for a while because you’re only human and the days only have 24 hours? Or are there tricks you’ve found to keep it all under control?
