Asking myself a few simple questions helped me see the damage of being too busy

1) Does the amount of time and attention I currently offer to my family convey they are a top priority in my life? (Six years ago, the answer was no.)

2) Does my current schedule allow for time spent simply being all there with my loved ones? (Six years ago, the answer was no.)

3) Do I have any extracurricular commitments or time-wasting distractions I could eliminate in order to spend a few minutes of special time each day with my child or spouse? Here, the answer was YES. There was a glimmer of hope!
