I'm writing to encourage the younger folks on balancing the important things in life: family, work, school, training, etc.
Be very careful to keep your priorities protected. Number and list your life priorities from 1-5 (1 being the most important).
For example (mine):
1. God
2. Family
3. Job
4. Training
5. Social Life
Now, I know yours may be different, but be sure to put it on paper. Decide how much time each priority gets each day according to importance.
This will mean that we have to say "no" to invites, good ideas and drama when they conflict with priorities. Boundaries will need to be placed around your listed priorities. Random stuff does happen in life, but this list helps with the majority of how you live.
Hope this helps!
