I have a bit of a problem, one I have been trying to get a handle on for most of this year. Despite many approaches and different methods, I always seem to end up back at square one with too many irons in the fire or balls in the air, whichever rocks your boat.

I seem to be quite efficient at the day-to-day routine tasks; it is everything else that I have trouble with. All of this is what I call the snowball effect, and most of you will probably know what I mean. How just drafting a book can unleash a never-ending stream of jobs that keep on coming. Calling it marketing is how the experts describe their prowess, but this is something I haven’t been able to master. Maybe I never will. I have read all the advice on this problem, ...

One of the good ways to find out is to assess your psychological state while this man is in your life. The guy might be fine for someone else but he might not be fine for you and vice versa, of course. Do you feel uncomfortable most of the time while in a relationship with him? You might not be able to place a finger on it but do you feel worried most of the time, nervous, bored, neglected or anything other kind of discomfort that by the end you might find draining to you? If yes, he might not be the right guy for you in the long run because those small uncomfortable nuances will get worse with time. I remember having a boyfriend, who was overall a nice guy, in my early 20s who at some point started talking marriage which, and this was my first sign, terrified me a bit. I couldn’t explain why and just attributed it to cultural differences (I just immigrated from Russia and he was my first American boyfriend). As our relationship progressed, I started finding mys...
