Would you like to have a more balanced life?

Most of us would answer YES to this question.
January is “Get a balanced Life” Month. Today, The Morning Thing shared some incredible insight on this topic from imom.com

Janelle shared 3 work/life tips that actually work! She said that she learned a lesson the hard way from a coworker’s note that she left for her on her desk one day. It had just four words — “Leave some for home.”  (ouch) Click HERE to read Janelle’s 3 tips.

Dana Hall McCain also shared an article about balance. She says that having it all, and having it stress-free is just not reality.  Reducing the sense of conflict may depend more on accepting and making peace with the realities of two-career families (or working single-parent families) than on striving to juggle it all seamlessly. Dana shared 4 Myths of Work-Life Balance. Click HERE to gain more insight.
