Balancing the Plates

Ever seen one of those extremely talented people who could spin multiple plates in the air and keep them all going?  Ever think about the practice that was involved in learning how to do the first one?  I imagine there were many broken plates along the way.  But once they mastered their system, their process, those plates seem to spin with little effort. 

How do you practice spinning your "plates?"  All those things you have to do in a day, people to influence, clothes to wash, volunteer projects, business to build, income to earn and give - how do you manage to keep the plates spinning?  What is the process you use to keep it all from crashing down?  Don't have one?  That's where a transformation specialist can help  :-).
