It 'been said that the President and First Lady Michelle Obama tries to work in the gym and have breakfast together, if possible. Obama is apparently married to his daily training, the election of the first Presidential crisis stomach morning just as a sure thing, as Obama's attention to the faltering economy, participation in daily briefings, meetings in the Studio Oval between parents and daughters Sasha and Melia. In the midst of the economic briefings, meetings with senior consultants, earReforms and press conferences, Obama still always manages to cultivate a young married his check his BlackBerry splash in the local culinary scene look at dog breeds and monitor major policy programs as the White House Council on women and girls.
Our nation's 44th president in the White House clearly brings more than his intelligence, charisma, energy and tenacious young love. If an idle brain is the devil's workshop, then Obama is definitely in the clear. TheJust hide the thought of the presidential election timetable Makes Me Want to, under the blanket, get in the fetal position and suck your thumb. Roll is the president and press the snooze button? I have a difficult time fertile imagination of our First Lady to walk through the halls of the Executive Residence in wearing a bathrobe and fuzzy slippers, oversized plush cozy. I guess it is rare to Barack and Michelle with a newspaper and a cappuccino, or snuggle up in bed and saw the John Stewart show and relaxationSharing a pint of Ben & Jerry's. I would bet that Michelle Obama, despite their constant access to a large number of employees, it is unlikely to soak in a bath of Bubble was investigated by People magazine and Danielle Steel novels are. However, Obama offer us a sound understanding of their personal life seems balanced, where the family business, educational aspirations, social and political aspirations of equal merit were awarded.
I thought a lot on the concept of productivityrecently. There are only 24 hours in a day, and do so many important things. Feed the dog. Feeding the cat. Clean dog poop in the yard. Worry About Economy. Do laundry. See patients. Market my practice. Read the newspaper. Return phone calls. Unload the dishwasher. Mop the kitchen floor. Bills to pay. Keep in touch with friends and family. Stop torturing your pet cat. Stop your cat scratching the dog's eyes out. Clean the litter box. Check e-mail. Honestly, it's allSometimes it can seem rather overwhelming. Sometimes I feel like an imposter in my life and I wonder how I managed to avoid the final collapse of the proverbial house of cards, I landed on a bench with my belongings stuffed in an old shopping bag.
Speaking of bag ladies, I remember vividly my annual visits to my grandmother in Miami Beach in early childhood, where a homeless woman living on a bench outside the public library on Collins Avenue. Youdressed in heavy layers of winter clothing color despite the heat of Florida, and we sat faithfully every year, surrounded by a collection of plastic bags. Every year I returned to the homeless woman that curious to find clothes and I fought the urge to ask them why not remove extra layers of clothing and place it in one of its many plastic bags. Their lives seemed so beautifully simple reduced with their material world, no more than a fewPlastic bags and a park bench. He defied convention and lived on the edge of silence, watching the world go by. Here was a concept that I found fascinating, perverse, a life reduced to pure simplicity, free from daily responsibilities and social obligations.
I often wonder how ordinary people of average intelligence, able to sleep, eat, make a movement, care of pets and children, their livelihood, you think of current events, commissions, pay bills, and playStark Raving Mad without clean underwear and drop out of society? Learn why some people juggle many dimensions of life, seemingly without effort, always seeking a new pet cause or project, while others walk around wrapped in a cloud of psychic turbulence, drops out of society or die under the weight Demands of life heartless?
During graduate school I paid the rent for a time by teaching preschool. In my class of three-year-olds, there was a boy named Ariel, a small redWho regularly wet his pants and cried most of the time. The requirements of the school is a difficult challenge for Ariel and required much comfort and reassurance. Then there was a child Raina-feisty personality with very independent and confident. Raina has refused to participate in meaningless games and staged a revolt against the monotony of daily finger paints, and nap in the morning circle time. It can not be blamed, as Raina craved a sense of productivity. I tried to imagine whatRaina table could be an adult and appears as a large woman sultry stiletto heals and a red power suit, her long fingernails painted red tap the surface of a conference, as merged company said the terms of a group of men Business skeptical sipping stale coffee. These individual differences in temperament have become more evident and clear very early in life. While some travel through life with bright sunshine and calm waters, other blessed thrashAbout rip severe floods, are struggling for survival. Where is the explanation for these dramatic differences are in the hands of nature to cultivate, or a complex interaction between the two?
Speaking of productivity, I feel inadequate in those days. Somewhere in California, I think a 33-year-old single woman, unemployed, unable to care for 14 children alone while I put enough care of a cat in question, the occasional house plant and a rambunctious Labrador puppy. MyHusband swears that waste time better than anyone else knows often complete in a day what can be done in an hour. I find normal office work, phone calls and much lower once the unpleasant tasks such as colonoscopy and a cage I identify with animals in the zoo, if they are forced to confront these things.
Since the arrival of our puppy Charlie, the scale of productivity is even less point in my favor, as I clearly disputed in the areas of multi-taskingand sleep deprivation. I prefer to Charlie on the beach in the middle of a weekday as well as cards from my desk, a fact that my horror efficiency laser focused obsessed husband. Charlie's has many physical and emotional needs, in addition to my duties as others ask me how to manage the land most people? The requirements of a puppy are tiny compared to a human child, and I humbly admit, the puppy has rocked my world and my previously blurredselfish existence.
I just found free time, I plan to American Psychological Association included a special request for a new diagnostic label approach in DSM. The label is productive Challenged (PC) and the diagnostic criteria are: an intense and disabling non-multitasking, an inability to effectively prolonged sleep deprivation, followed by a hesitation applicants with homework and projects and a chronic avoidance all passThis is trivial and boring in favor of hedonistic pursuits and leisure activities. These symptoms may be with or without a strong aversion to bureaucratic routine occur, must gradually progressive in nature, and should interfere with the functioning of each day through personal and professional domains for at least three months.
My neighbor has four kids under the age of 7, holding a part-time job and was more recently a garden in the backyard. 've Always wantedgrow a garden, but never found the time or inclination to follow through. In my defense, I never heard a courtyard, until recently, but when I do, I was sure my PC would have prevailed diagnosis. Put a check column productive discussion. If my neighbor can juggle four children, one an infant and a part-time job while still finding time to cultivate a garden, then I am sure can handle a dog, a cat, a dead plant, a private practice , a column of mercuryand a garden. Come to think, what is my excuse for the continuation of the novel, I know that lives in me to avoid? I am proud to admit it, I wrote the first 13 pages, although it may take five weeks hiding in the jungles of Costa Rica to provide this game is. If Obama makes it to the gym every morning, I can write a stupid book.
I'm frustrated that he made a myriad of support systems for parents of children aged man, but not for production in questionchildless pet owners. After all, the mothers of these furry four-legged souls are worthy of a support system? Here is another area of the track to ask for my life. If the homeless in Miami Beach may be able to endure year after year on a bench in the sun, dressed in winter, then I can be a support group to help me feel less ashamed of my PC diagnosis established. I'm going to call the group of chicks and Hounds. All interested parties are invited to contactI'm going to phone or e-mail to a Frisbee in Iceland Sullivan steps in the middle of the workweek. To compensate for the associated debt that goes along with a diagnosis of PC, please bring your business card and think it is a professional networking event.
