Too busy to live life

There are times when you can be too busy to live your life. I’ve just been through one of these helping to prepare an MOD bid for Berkshire Consultancy www.berkshire.co.uk . It was a big one, and surviving it was sooooooo… like a sailing campaign. 7 day a week working for weeks on end, doing what can be done to stay healthy (eating, sleeping), reviewing as I went along to work not just hard but smart.

My years of running sailing teams came in very handy, especially in motivating us all when it looked like too big a task to finish. I am also grateful for the skills learnt in mindmapping and NLP, without which I would have been considerably more disorganised and more emotionally vulnerable to stress as fast approaching deadline took its toll.

I enjoyed meeting the other people involved in the bid, and I wish them well as they move back into their normal lives. Now its back to my own life.
