Given all this, I will make a lame attempt to sum it up in a very succinct manner, something of which I am rarely accused :-)

Prioritize. You make your own priorities and let noone interfere. Limit the exceptions to only those which are really important, such as life and death matters. Other exceptions apply of course, but at your behest. You think of number one first.

A buddy of mine is somewhat of a health nut, and he is basically a nut in everything he does. He has a very rigid mind and once he makes a decision God would have trouble convincing him to change his mind, AND HE IS RELIGIOUS ! This guy "couldn't" go to his niece's graduation because that was his running time. He runs X miles a day to stay in shape and won't come off it for hell or high water.

He is obviously at the opposite end of the spectrum. But he thinks he is just fine, but wait, is he ? He operates in society just fine, rarely breaks any laws, doesn't hurt anyone and is pretty much a good friend and neighbor. (he is not my neighbor but I know him well enough to know that he is to his) He has his house, olady and kids, all doing well. So what's the problem ?

Think about number one.
