Another Halloween is here, the time for acting out our childlike behavior in ways that scare us and others.  But Halloween isn’t the only time we seek spine-tingling thrills.   In 2008, scary films grossed $294,256,870 according to the-numbers.com.  Frightening rides like rollercoasters and extreme sports are a few of the ways we scare the breath right out of ourselves.  (Even yours truly foolishly accompanied my brother on his third ride on the very scary rollercoaster at California Adventure, because it was my older brother prodding me to accompany him, afterall).   

What is it about being temporarily terrified we seem to love so much and yet, the loss of a job or a change in our routine can scare us to death?

This is due to not having the necessary infrasture in place, but it’s also due to having insufficient confidence in your employees or team members.  Technical skills are necessary, but not if you find yourself too often handling many details of your job, in which case you’ve  created yourself as indispensable to the project getting done.  This makes it pretty tough when you want to take a vacation or turn the project loose.  You’ve created yourself as the team and the team leader.  So, why should others rise to the occasion and be as enthusiastic or generative as you?

Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot dvd Do you work out? How does that affect your sense of yourself, your energy level, the way you fit and feel in your clothes and your overall well-being?

Hellboy Animated: Blood and Iron movie download The Long Goodbye dvdrip I always feel better when I work out. I usually don’t like to stop what I’m doing and take the time for it, but I do it anyway, because I notice I’m better able to stay focused and alert for my various work projects, meetings, etc. And, I’m happiest when I stick to doing what I say is important to me.

Terry Fator: Live from Las Vegas hd The Bridge of San Luis Rey buy Why don’t we do the things we say work well for us, consistently and even joyfully? Maybe it’s the terms “dogged perseverance” and “resolute tenacity” the dictionaries say stick-to-it-of-ness requires. That doesn’t sound like fun. But Cal Ripkin and Donald Philips book, “Get in the Game, 8 Elements of Perseverance That Make the Difference,” say that in addition to that strong will to succeed, if you love what you do, count it as an important value, and manage your time to include it, you’ll accomplish it. This takes courage to trust your convictions, sometimes with little evidence, like when those unwelcome bulges persist. But even if you never get a perfect body, if you stick to your exercise plan it will bring satisfying improvements as well as build your inner strength, which you can apply in other areas of your life as well.

One thing I’m known for is being quick and ready for action.  This has its up sides and down sides, though.  Friends, family and clients can count on me to keep my word and follow through on getting something done, despite how busy I am.  Plane reservations?  I’ll do it.  Restaurant for a family get-together?  Fit in a client on an already full day?  No problem, I can do it.  This go-for-it mentality has a price, though.  

At times I may put aside more important projects and then feeling overwhelmed with too many details when my plate is already full.  I can make mistakes from moving too quickly.  I can not notice when someone needs a helping hand and that should be my priority.  Despite good intentions of helpfulness and delegating some of these projects, I can be sidetracked by taking on new projects (big or small) when someone else could handle them.  Here’s a few suggestions I recommend that works best for me:

- Use your daytimer or palm pilot and put down your most important projects first.  Then write down in pencil [or put brackets around in your pilot] less important tasks or personal tasks you could handle at a later time if necessary.  Set clear boundaries between business time and personal or social-related time. 

- No matter how you organize your time there will be interruptions or new time-stealing “opportunities.”  Ask yourself if you can truly take a project on with everything else you have competing for your time.  Find the right balance between being helpful to others and self-sabotaging.  

How do you keep your go-for-it style in balance?
