Know what's really important to you

Once you are really clear about what's really important to you then work around that. Make all of your decisions based on that.

Here's an example:

When my son was young it was important to me to only work from home or when my son was at school.

So if things were offered to me that did not fit around what was important to me, then I said "No" to it.

So what's most important to you?
