Merrill for once I’m glad that I’m older than you. I’m done being Hazy, Lazy and Crazy. You will reach this state of Nirvana someday. Until then, I know you are just green with envy.

I’ve lived in at least 2 out of 3 of these categories, not that I believe it’s nearly that simply to cluster us this way - but then again, this is one of the shortcuts we take in life (and in research). Today, I turn off my cell phone fairly frequently, gave away my PDA (it’s not that dramatic - my cell has all the functions that my PALM used to have), am just as demanding of myself but far less critical and overall appreciate life much more.

First, I must say that I have enjoyed reading your blog. I am open to learning new things, exploring other’s perspectives and most importantly looking at things differently! My wise Grandfather once said, “learn something new everyday.”

I have to admit I am somewhat of a “hazie person”. I think the most important thing is to TRY and prioritize each day!! When my ten year old son says, “Mom, I would like you to sign a contract stating you will not look at that STUPID blackberry during MY TIME…!!” It’s just one more reminder that I am not prioritizing very well!! I have to work harder at that!!!

Let me start by saying that my life used to be out of balance rooting for the BoSox, but then I moved to Kansas City, and since so few of their games are broadcast here, I’ve been forced to add balance I think that if I had the focus and confidence that David Ortiz does at EVERY at bat, I’d be running my own company!

On a more serious note, I recall from my Retail Management days that balance was a big challenge for me. And then I worked for Tim X (last name withheld to protect the innocent), who taught me to ‘work smart, not hard’ as he said it. Tim mentored me well to delegate wherever possible, and to manage people, and not things.

As I read through the categories, I found that I could relate to all 3 at different times in my life, with the one I just described being more like a ‘Lazie’. In school I was more like a ‘Crazie’. I am going to speculate that each one of us has a membership to each of these segments at different times in our lives.

Merrill, thank you so much for the invitation to your blog! Way cool.
