I sure agree with your five points, especially “Pursuing Your Passions!” How easy it is to let a crowded lifestyle slowly eliminate those personal interests.

Being a teacher and author of work and life balance myself, I emphasize how important it is to address six key aspects of life in order to live a balanced life…
– physical wellbeing,
- emotional wellbeing,
- mental / attitudinal wellbeing,
- social / intimate relationships,
- spiritual / creativity wellbeing
and lastly,
- work life wellbeing.

Unless they are all being addressed as best as possible, the balance wheel will always remain lopsided.

You’ve addressed a few key points to help improve the quality of people’s work life, but also make your readers think about bigger life issues… right on.

If I may I offer two other key points that can also help make an impactful difference to a person’s life, they would include;

1. Set really clear boundaries on our time and energy, both at work and at home. Though it can sometimes be challenging to establish, it will ultimately serve our balance ability better. We may even be more respected for taking a clear stand and comitting to life principles.

2. Always delegate when possible! Prioritize those tasks that are vital, those that are needed and those that are desired … and work first to accomplish the vitals before going on to the others. Hire out when possible!

Thanks for your good tips. If interested, I offer free Work and Life Balance tools… come visit.

Warmly, Carolyn Clarke
