Work-Life Balance
Are you running as fast as you can, but you still drop the ball, disappoint others, or simply do not have time for yourself? Doing it all can be exhausting. Not surprisingly, many people struggle with stress and aren’t as happy as they would like.
Most people combine multiple roles, such as working and parenting, studying and caring for a loved one, or being a good friend while training for a marathon. Many tips on work-life balance point us to better time management or prioritizing. That is challenging if you want to do it all. In my book “Work-Life Strategy”, I take a different approach. Instead of planning, choosing, or time-blocking, I share research-based insights on how you can get the most out of your roles and feel happy. The book is now available!
You can also read my research-based management tips, previously published on Forbes, under insights. Happy Reading!
