Over-packing...

Recently, a couple of the airlines have started to charge $25 or so, when you check a second bag. Many people are throwing a fit at this. But to me, I don't mind it. Why? It prevents over-packing. How many of you are over-packers? You know...the type of person that fills the car for a simple weekend overnight. The type that brings so much stuff, it makes the trip uncomfortable for others. The type that brings stuff knowing they will never use it...but nevertheless bring it anyway.

I really don't like over-packing. It makes things hard to find. It makes time unproductive. It causes confusion, lack of focus, and messes up priorities.

Same is true with your life and time. Don't over-pack. Don't over-pack so much "stuff" into your schedule that you lose focus on the really important things. You lose focus on hitting your Master Targets (priorities) in life! In today's world, it is so easy to over-pack. It is so easy to fill up your life that you just exist and go through the motions because there is no way you can properly prioritize. Don't do that.

Leave some space in your life. Leave some room. Leave some time. This will allow you to make sure you are on spot hitting those Master Targets in your life. The old saying is so true and applicable here: Do 5 things at 100% rather than 50 things at 10%!

Don't over-pack your life!
