Do you feel like the faster you run, the farther you fall behind? For me - it's true. I run to keep up with technology, with theology, with philosophy and it seems the faster I run, the farther behind I fall. We've seen the stats quoted: information used to double at the rate of (something like) once every 50 years. And now, information is doubling at (something sorta like) every 53 seconds. OK, an exaggeration, but...information is exploding. And so is my head. What's a feller to do?
I'm asking your advice. How do you keep up? And where do you keep up? And what expectations do you set for yourself? And, perhaps most importantly...how do you come down?
I want to know...
Lynnette & Tim - I see a common theme. Hmmmm...

Well, I will be checking this blog every day in case someone has an answer to the million dollar question! Until then, I am learning to spend more time with friends and family. Not as easy as it might sound for some of us!

Since my change in my career, I am finding that the best way to keep up is to not try. If you have to work that hard to keep up...then you've got too much stuff going on...back it down...CHOOSE TO CHEAT...One of the best little books that sticks with me is by Andy Stanley by the same name as above. With every decision that we make, we are choosing to cheat another. My taste buds say get that piece of cake...my waste line says no....so which one do I choose to cheat...
Just a thought
