We've talked about the 24/7 lifestyle and the urgency factor. Here are some classic signs that the frenetic pace of the technological age has helped to take you out of balance:
Your lifestyle is so hectic, the only time you can return phone calls is via cell phone on your commute.
You only manage to eat a “normal” dinner one night out of five during the week. The rest of the time, it's strictly high-fat take-out.
You never sleep more than five or six hours a night because you are up late catching up on work or paying bills and organizing your personal life.
You haven't taken a nonworking vacation in a number of years.
The last time you consistently exercised, you did Jane Fonda aerobics tapes wearing leg warmers.
Meals, family time, kids' soccer games, and quiet evenings at home, are all interrupted by work-related calls.
