Pennsif’s Progress – As Steve said, "Do one thing well"
We have spent the last couple of days moving two of our daughters to start at their new universities.
These are big days. These are important life points. These are times that are a-changing.
Long drivings mean long thinkings.
Right now I am sure I have so many pies, in so many ovens, with so many fingers in them, that none of them are tasting quite as good as they might.
And I am in danger of falling asleep at the wheel.
I cannot do everything that I would like to on steem. I need to focus. I need to do one thing well.
Or at least cut down a bit.
I know what makes the most difference - that is my work with A Dollar A Day.
I know what makes the least.
So I will no longer be broadcasting The Alternative Lifestyle Show on Fridays.
I will pick up the best bits of that and merge them into my longer and stronger Thursday show that currently runs with the moniker of Here Comes The News. But that might change.
With all the guests I have on my radio shows they take many, many hours to organise and put together.
So dropping one will free me a good chunk of time to concentrate more on A Dollar A Day. That can only be for the better.
Thank you everyone that has been part of The Alternative Lifestyle Show - both listeners and guests.
Since the show started in January I have had well over a hundred great guests on the show, who have given some extremely interesting interviews. I will miss you all. But not too far. Just move back one day and you can be on the Thursday show.
Thank you and good night.

It's never a bad thing to take a step back and take of deep breath my good man. Family is to be the #1 priority after all and you are a good person no matter what you do here, which is something to be proud of.
You know me, I'm always here to help. I've been learning how to broadcast and have had some success with it recently. Let me know if I can do anything, anytime.
Hi Greg, thanks for this and many thanks for your great input and support on the news show.

I felt really identified with your post. I'm having a time when i'm trying to shoot my arrows in all directions and then see if i achieve something. I was thinking about overDo, and well. It is quite hard for me let one thing, I get involved and passioned with peoples and ideas very often, but all of us need to know our limits. Sadly the day has only 24 hours, and the coffe is never enough. I'm happy about your desition. @onedollaraday is a kindly project, i want to thanks you for your good intentions.
Good lines by Sir Steve jobs, "Do one thing well"
this one line telling big things...
Nice article friend...
I completely understand where you're coming from -- and you do so much more than me it seems!
Sad to see the ALT show go, but glad you're going to keep the others.
Real life must take precedence over the digital one. You're doing the right thing.
Oh, I find myself in that situation all the time. It's a good place to be in a way. It makes us stop and think rather than just go, go, go.
Best of times to your daughters.
