Earlier this week, I had a really good conversation with my brother about priorities, the elusive work-life balance, and the challenges of carving out enough time to write/be creative.

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.
Carl Sandburg
Now, I know how I *want* to spend the coin of my life, but I often forget to say ‘no’ to non-essential time-sucks. How about you?
