It seems I’ve got work-life balance on the brain of late, as evidenced here, here and, oh yeah, here. Apparently, I’m not alone. The Center for Creative Leadership is now featuring three short but engaging articles on the subject. One presents a laundry list of warning signs of a life off balance. Another piece suggests that the quest for life equilibrium “can become all-consuming and non-productive” because our idea of what constitutes balance changes over time. The proffered fix for this flux is to shift our focus to making choices that support our core values. The final article asserts that a good way to evaluate “where you are in terms of balance” is to get feedback from family, friends and co-workers. The goal of this assisted self-assessment is to see if our perception of how we spend our time and effort matches how others experience us.
