Is there Such a Thing as Work/Life Balance?

摘要

Forget multitasking! Decide when to focus on work and when to block it out.Our lives end up being complicated and our schedules packed (probably an understatement for most of us). In fact, astime goes by it seems that our days continue to get more involved and challenging. Marriage, children, aging parents, work, community and religious organization involvement ... all add to the ups and downs of modern living. For most of us, work is necessary to provide income to pay for the costs associated with living — food, clothing, housing, healthcare, saving for the kids' college educations and so on. Add on top of work the demands of our personal life, volunteering in a variety of ways, serving our profes-sional organizations, continuing our education, and so on and finding any downtime in the agenda/schedule can be a real challenge.
