Another semester finished and one about to begin. My major challenge recently has been time management – deciding what receives my attention among multiple, competing interests (i.e. new hobby, new girlfriend, consulting activities, extracurricular learning, and so on.) I received a wake-up call in late April which could have been very inconvenient and expensive concerning my participation in the UF Employee Education Program. Fortunately, I was able to recover somewhat and will focus on better  time management which will be critical to achieving a balance and success in my education going forward. Lesson learned.
