		<description><![CDATA[In part one of Complex Lives, we set a Future in Progress (FIP) limit for Jessica, a busy and active single mom. Her goals were overwhelming her ability to get things done.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been surprised lately by the number of people asking me about work/life balance. We feel we are undervaluing our family ties, our personal goals, our community involvement, our hobbies and our art. Oftentimes our work makes us feel isolated &#8211; we feel alone and seek meaning in our lives. Amusingly, we feel like we&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

His largest project entails working alone on a client&#8217;s mission-critical legacy system. So in the last blog post we discussed his tasks and task types.

		<description><![CDATA[Flexibility is an unsung virtue. People want absolutes: &#8220;Do this, then do that, don&#8217;t deviate and then you&#8217;ll achieve success.&#8221; But we all know that absolutes are often false, and that context is king &#8211; in life, in work, and in all human endeavor. So limiting our WIP needs to take context into account, even [...]]]></description>

For a value stream like this: Analysis -&#62; Creation -&#62; Refinement -&#62; Launch refinement is dependent on both analysis and creation.

The only two rules are visualize your work and limit work-in-progress (WIP). PK&#8217;s main goal is to get you to write things down and begin to watch how and what you complete.
