Cultivate the slashes
Pop on over to the NYT Article, 5 Time-Management Tricks by Marci Alboher and you will get some pretty basic stuff. But, since I am sucker for new phrases that capture my imagination, I glommed onto Tip #5 and the call to maintain healthy boundaries in the midst of so much that can go on in one's life.
5. Say no. I spend a lot of my time encouraging people to cultivate the slashes in their lives (entrepreneur/screenwriter/mother). But you need to recognize when it’s time to focus on one area and decelerate in others.

You do see that the point this writer is making is that you need to know when to cut back on certain slashes, right? Or did your multi-tasking mind just skip right over that part? :)
