Work - Life Balance Discussion
The more alert among you will have noticed our lively and spirited discussion on work-life balance from a week or two ago. If you didn’t, let me point out that you can add a comment to our blog posts when you click through to our website. We encourage you to participate – it’s fun and intriguing to hear what other people think of our articles and our opinions. And you might like it, too.
Here’s my two pennies’ worth (on work-life balance):
The best way to not work too hard is not to work too hard. I mean, when the clock gets to 5.30, stop working and go home. It will be there tomorrow. Trust me, it’s true. The work multiplies to fill the time you give it and then some, so you’ll never ever get it all done. Prioritise not working, too.
Remember, you won’t lie in your deathbed reflecting on your life and think “I wish I’d spent more time at the office”. I guarantee it.

I agree with you John but maybe not for the reason you think.
To me they way we live is all work. I'm working on being a better father and husband.
So by deciding to work on that at 5.30 pm and tackling some of my home based "projects" it's still work but my balance is optimal.
I try to give my family the same if not more priority than business.
It's a choose your attitude thing - Aaaurrghh I got it!
Cheers

I read a great deal of blogs, and I have not come across an article that articulates these points so well.
