I definitely agree with this speaker. Not everyone can juggle all aspects of life and it can become extremely difficult. As you get older, your priorities change. People my age it is normally school, job, and bills. But as people get older it changes to your career and a family. You can control everything that happens around you but to try and do your best at it! The speaker gave great examples of how he handled his situations to the best that he was able to.

Handling multiple things at once is always difficult and sometimes things need to be placed aside. Family will always be there and will always be a part of you. Jobs and friends are temporary for the most part but family situations should always come first.

Its hard to maximize at everything in life at once. Its impossible to get an A+ on all aspects of life. Sometimes you don't get to make the choice of which ball to drop. As a college student, wife, employee, friend,and daughter, I understand exactly what he is saying in this video. Its impossible to do perfect in every aspect. When something tragic happens we have to drop one or most of everything else around us. Personally, thats why I think it is important to prioritize things because if we don't, when something bad happens in one area we may choose the wrong thing to drop.

I agree that sometimes you just cant juggle everything. During my undergrad career I was able to juggle an 18 hour schedule, a job, and a good social life. In graduate school, I am only taking 12 hours and I work fewer hours in a week and I find myself struggling to keep up. It's like juggling 8 tennis balls versus 2 bowling balls. The bigger the projects the fewer of them you can juggle at one time.

This was a great video because people like me need to understand we cannot do it all by ourselves. Sometimes things have to cut out and changed or altered because it just can't fit and there is only 24 hours in a day. Just prioritizes what is most important and work from there.

Prioritizing can be difficult at times because there are so many things that on the top of our lists. School, work, family! Where do you start? Trying to keep up with all at the same time is overwhelming and stressful. Like today, me being the procrastinator that I am, I am sitting here on Mother's Day doing my schoolwork instead of spending time with my son and my mother. I can definitely relate to this video and hope to use the advice from the video in the future.

This was a great video and it is very awesome to hear such a great story. I could not imagine being in that situation. But this video shows how sometimes something comes before everything else and you cannot control that. Sometimes life throws you curveballs and you have to face these situations before anything else.

Every human is expected to do so much with their life. Learning how to focus and juggle everything is the hardest thing we have to do. Not focusing entirely on one thing, but rather juggling all of your responsibilities is the best way to handle the situation.

I agree with this speaker, sometimes you cannot choose what aspects of your life to get an A+ in. Family always comes first for me, I would drop anything I was doing if one of my family members were in the hospital.

Its hard to juggle all the aspects of life. I've learned to prioritize the things most important to me, but not everyone can do that. I agree that with age priorities change. Its all about balancing life.

I can relate very easily to this video. I am currently pregnant with my first child and it has completely changed my life and my priorities. Juggling everything is very difficult. I have learned to ask for help with tasks that can easily be done by others and to put the most effort into the most important tasks. I realize that I am not a superhero and I will just stress myself out more by trying to do everything myself.

I agree that we do not always have control over what we focus on as priorities. I think what is most important to you will always show. For example I will always prioritize my life by God, family, and then work.

No doubt everyone thinks that they can juggle all of their problems and tasks. But in reality you might be wasting more time thinking about the planning of thetask and not actually thinking about what you are doing at that moment.
