Just came across an article on the web about Work-Life Balance by Darryl L. Mobley, purportedly the nation's foremost thought leader on Work-Life Balance.
It seems a new Work-Life Balance study shows that most feel that life is running them ragged and they don't know what to do about it. Research among 1,789 adults showed that most people believe that Work-Life Balance is impossible. Among working women, a whopping 87% believe that Work-Life Balance is not possible to achieve. Among working men, an even higher 89% said that Work-Life Balance was not possible.
A couple signs you aren't balanced:
- Poor or worsening relationship with significant other
- Not enough time spend with friends
- Feeling constantly stressed, on-edge, cranky, angry
- Read the entire list of 10 items...
The best thing I like about the article is it points out that Work-Life Balance doesn't come from company programs. It comes when the individual person determines for themselves a proper mixture of key life areas (work, family, friends, fun, self, etc.)
So, what is your proper mix? Define that and start taking responsibility for your own Work-Life Balance and you'll be Serving Strong!
