Now days I am doing a lot of self-talk i.e. talking to me. When I talk to myself either loudly or in the inner thoughts, most of the time I have been accepting that my outside can never be perfect.

Too often we are hard on ourselves because we are trying to live up to some idea of “perfection” we have about ourselves. Often we are trying to live up to a standard that society projects on us, or to a standard that we’ve put on ourselves because we feel we have a deficiency in some area.

Learning how to manage a job and a family when there doesn’t seem to be time for both is a constant struggle with in these you have to find time for your hobbies. But the question is all the same Can a healthy balance can be achieved with the proper effort? I hope you must have said this to yourself many times “I’m going to get organized this time and stick to it”.

Staying organized is like trying to keep weight off; we do it for a while and then fall back into old habits. Most of us have learned many organization techniques over the years: get a day planner, make to-do lists, develop an organizing system so we can find and store things easily, touch paper only one time.

However, we end up still getting slacken down, and the planners and the to-do lists fall by the wayside. We end up right where we were before, maybe a little improved but still struggling with overload, over commitment, and overly tired. Because the gateway we are left with is of the four Ds [Do, Delegate, Delay or Dump].

I have personally identified following points to make my inside perfect:

• Identify people who steal your time (online/offline); don’t succumb to their schedules or tactics.
• Control interruptions: the more you allow them, the more they will happen.
• Limit the amount of stress you are exposed to by getting proactive.
• Maintain some physical activity and keep on changing your environment.
