Some tips for balancing work and play

Posted on 05:45 by Unknown
There's an old saying "Play as hard as you work" that I strive to live by. I've discovered that balancing work and personal time is one of the hardest - yet most important - things you can do as a human being. I found this to be doubly true after losing my mom to cancer last year and nearly losing my father to a heart attack this year.

If you're looking for ways to slow down and enjoy life during this one shot that you've got there's an excellent book on the subject that I HIGHLY recommend:




Furthermore, Focus.com recently pulled together an expert briefing on the subject that I contributed to:
Focus Experts' Briefing: 6 Ways to Improve Work/Life Balance

If you want to make some changes you've got make some hard choices. I hope these resources help.
