Over the years, I've read a bunch of articles that claimed to be about work-life balance, but were really all about time management techniques. True work-life balance is very different. In this 10-minute TEDTalk, Nigel Marsh does a fantastic job getting to the core issues of work-life balance. This may be the best synopsis I've ever heard in trying to gain true work-life balance. Well worth the listen.
In the discussion, Nigel hits four main points:
1. Certain job and career choices are fundamentally incompatible with being engaged on a day-to-day basis with a family.
2. Governments and corporations aren't going to solve this issue for us.
3. Be careful with the time frame that you choose upon which to judge your balance.
4. Approach balance in a balanced way.
