Overview
Life is more like a marathon than a sprint. Here?s how to stay well conditioned.
Bill Butterworth will make you laugh?and learn while you?re doing it! In the opening chapter of this powerful little book, Bill shares with you how, while running his rotund body in a nightmarish 440-yard dash, he learned a great lesson:
Life is much more like a marathon than a sprint.
The attitudes and actions that result in steady success over the long haul are what make for long-term satisfaction and achievement. To experience this for yourself, you need to understand how to deal with life?s inevitable challenges:
·The ?Hazies??losing sight of long-term goals
·The ?Lazies??lacking the self-discipline to bring life back into focus
·The ?Crazies??allowing life to run out of control
Each of these can be conquered by three ?clarifying triangles:? setting clear priorities, learning the discipline of endurance, and reaching the finish line through skillful pacing. It all adds up to a succinct and inspiring guide to balancing excellence at work with fulfillment in all of life.

Life is much more like a marathon than a sprint.
The attitudes and actions that result in steady success over the long haul are what make for long-term satisfaction and achievement. To experience this for yourself, you need to understand how to deal with life's inevitable challenges:
·The “Hazies”–losing sight of long-term goals
·The “Lazies”–lacking the self-discipline to bring life back into focus
·The “Crazies”–allowing life to run out of control
Each of these can be conquered by three “clarifying triangles:” setting clear priorities, learning the discipline of endurance, and reaching the finish line through skillful pacing. It all adds up to a succinct and inspiring guide to balancing excellence at work with fulfillment in all of life.

 | Excellent Insight -- the Only Pain is Applying It to My Life Oct 25, 2006 |
Bill Butterworth is an excellent writer and communicator. I've watched him hold an audience spell-bound with his storytelling. He uses the same power in his writing for this slim volume on balance between work and life.
You will smile and possibly laugh out loud at the personal stories then identify with the truth behind the story. In the opening chapter, Bill tells one of the most embarrassing experiences from his childhood--when he ran the 440 in a track and field event. He had no plan and didn't balance enough to finish the race. He writes toward the end of his opening chapter, "It is possible to be successful while at the same time maintaining balance between your personal and professional lives. Life is a marathon, my friend, and the key to any long-distance race is endurance. I hope this book will help more of you reach the finish line so that fewer of you will hit the wall at the 330-yard mark."
This book is part of Butterworth's on-the-fly guide series--or books designed to be completed on a short plane ride. The only challenge to you as a reader (and my own life) is faithfully applying the valuable lessons and insight--an every day decision.
I recommend this book. It's well worth your reading time. | | | Write your own review about On the Fly Guide to...Balancing Work and Life (On-the-Fly Guide)
