Balance the Chaos Blog

Minimal(ist) updates....

8/21/2015

0 Comments

 
In my pursuit to balance the chaos....namely the annual planning process chaos...my other pursuits have tipped the scales in favor of passion, instead of simplification.  It is all about the balance.  I have continued to think on the future contents of this blog, and roughing out some ideas.  
  • Curation of bird sightings across the ABA area - disparate sources, and mounds of data could make that quite interesting.  
  • Future blog post on the question "Is Minimalism Conservative or Liberal?  Yes...and No".  
Yeah, I know, overwhelming amount of thought, am I right?  I still feel comfortable with what I have accomplished this week in regards to balance.  Low stress level at the end of the week, and some exceptional moments for my passions!!

    Trying to figure out how to balance what can appear to be the Chaos of life.  Picking up new hobbies, passions and learning for a lifetime of happiness and success.  Curating it all, for better or worse.
    I work for a Fortune 500 company as...well a crystal ball for lack of more specifics.   Never knew that there was such a thing as a Multipotentialite or Multi-passionate...just figured everyone  wants to constantly learn something new.  
    This blog will chronicle my attempts to Balance the Chaos which can result from this, and work/life in general.
