Finding balance between work and life is a tough thing to do, definitely. I think you really find balance when you have congruency in both areas, when your passion and talents are aligned with what you do for money and please.

Prem:
Of course without life Prem there is nothing to be able to work with. I like the use of the word guzzle with taking energy with overwork.

David:

Thanks for thought provoking 8 rules. Putting life first is key but I guess work takes first spot in “work life balance” because without work there would not be much to live on. Sadly for most people, work is all encompassing and guzzles huge amounts of time and energy leaving very little for other aspects of life.

Hi Charlie,
I am glad it was helpful. I am now planning to do more on life/work balance over the next few months. You are absolutley right that I did end with work/life balance — if everyone is using the term then I thought I should not fight it too much. But what the heck, I will stay with life/work…thanks.

My contact details are for home and I work full time. I shared this internally at work and everyone has loved it – and is passing it on further. I will go home and spend a few more hours researching and digging out articles for others to enjoy from my home computer… instead of “playing” with my family.

So, interesting lesson for me.

I note too… that you ended your article still using work/life, not life/work as you recommend. But I like life/work. Such a good one liner…. I will take this on board and now go home. Good night :>

All the best on weighing the opps and negs of moving or quitting your day job. A big decision indeed…don’t let it knock you off balance.

Really good article – got me thinking ‘again’ about moving or quitting my day job, just now have to weigh up the opportunities against the negatives.

Phil –
Thanks for the feedback partner. At least you stayed home, it is amazing even during sickness how many will just press on.

Alik -
Good for you to ask the key question. We do need to have “custom” time for our key customer! Keep on rocking in the dynamic flux of balance between work and the women in your life.
