Farewell WLB .. Hello time for life
Facets and working life continually morph. Thus our approach to the creation of accomplishment and satisfaction in our personal and professional lives, while achieving productivity and large-scale performance, need to evolve . Here are four strategies to coach you to greater satisfaction
1. Reboot Needless to say, it is very difficult to understand what you need -.. and how it can be reached - when you're in the middle of overwhelm and chaos. "Running away from home," as I call it, gets you away from the daily routine to relax and consider what you want to make time for.

If the gap hope reality is caused by the way you work, rethink your approach. Do not rush. Do not multi-task. Do not multi-thinking. Take frequent breaks. Experiment with different strategies.
Although there are many ways to bridge the gap between the expectations of reality, it is essential to discover what works best for you. Nobody can tell you what to do when. You must understand that for yourself.
The work-life balance, set up with the best intentions, is a well-worn concept that has stood the test of time. And, as the definition of insanity - "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" - a new application of the era of a new approach to the creation of a filled, the personal and professional life happy happy
