I truly appreciate it. LouAnn, my friends Josh Garcia and Chris Owen (you can find their links above) taught me how to prevent burnout. Josh recommended cutting up my tasks into "bite-size" pieces or 15 minute increments to make them more manageable. And Chris taught me to celebrate the little successes along the way to may main goal. I think that was great advice that could help you as well. Try it out and let me know. In the meantime, have a wonderful week! Ilka Hi LouAnn,

Ilka this is so true and beautiful. I am always lying in bed unable to sleep beacuse of OH!!! what a day I have just had. Now I will be able to reflect back on these words and have a better prospect of what to do. The very next burnout I will definitely remember the mayonaise jar and coffee and share these inspiring words with others.

I can so relate. It's easy to get 'wrapped up' and forgetting the world around us. And you're absolutely right, that little guy of yours will be a young man way too soon. Enjoy the precious moments of NOW. Be blessed and have a great week! Ilka Hey Twila,

It reinforced my actions of taking my sons to the zoo just as I found an interesting & free place to post an ad. I had to force myself to do the right thing. Besides, the site will be there after they are asleep and dreaming of the animals at the zoo! LOL Thank you Ilak for taking time to share that wonderful story!

It's always truly appreciated. I read the article you linked me to. WOW! Copied & pasted it into my "BEST OF ..." folder :) Btw. you and your wife make a cute couple. I wish you all the blessings in the world. As far as the story above ... I don't remember where I got it originally. It's been on my machine for years. As far as I'm concerned you're certainly welcome to use it. Enjoy your weekend! Ilka Hey Chris,

I would like to incorporate it into my seminar teaching if you don't mind. You really made some great points about life here. I understand the feeling of burnout. The best way to overcome burnout is to set small goals, and celebrate the small victories. Not to plug myself, but I have a post that I think could help you out a little. I set it to go there when you click my name. You gave me a lot of great material to think about in this post, I would like to reciprocate the favor if possible. I love the look of this site by the way. You have a lot to be proud of here. Hey Ilka,

It shows you that no matter how busy you think you are, you still have room for more. Thanks for sharing it. Now, I'm going to tell the story to my wife. She is going to think I'm a scholar. I'll let her know...where I got it from. :) Have a wonderful weekend... Josh Hey Ilka,
