Loading ...When it comes to work-life (W-L) balance, look to Dan Hull for the answers:
For me, the point is and always has been making my/your life a work of art. That’s it. If you think there is something selfish or grandiose about that, fine. Art is intended to make sense of our world and ourselves. Choose your life, and then fill in the blanks. Blood, family and relationships for most of us will be the priority and a major part of the life canvas. You struggle, you grow, you surround yourself with people who stretch you, you work, you give and you increase love. Yet this stuff blends together–and needs to blend so we can be happy. For many of us, life and work are not capable of a bright-line separation if you love your existence, the people in it and what you do.
Hopefully, people in your life want you to chase a dream or two. It makes you happy. And, hey, communications technologies, and the lemming-like madness often surrounding it all, are no cure-all–but technologies do make work-life “blurring” possible, easier on others and often fun. Someone just said this all a lot better than I can or have here, and thanks to Stephanie West Allen of Idealawg, I just read it. See Marci Alboher’s piece in the New York Times small business section, “Blurring by Choice and Passion“.
Amen.
