Staying Balanced, Personally and Professionally

Work-life balance is a concept that has come into vogue during the last 10 years, and for good reason. All around, in organizations large and small, career professionals are besieged by too much information competing for their time and attention.

These people are not inept at time management or at proceeding productively through the day, but unlike any previous generation, they are bombarded with too much information: too much to reply to and too much to keep pace with, every day, all day long, all week long, month after month, and now, year after year.

Increasingly, the ability to stay balanced spells the difference between those who steadily rise to the top of their profession, taking time to smell the roses on the way, and enjoying the view at the top, and those who seem inevitably tangled up in the rat race where, of course, only the rats ever seem to win.

Staying Balanced, Personally and Professionally offers the essence of how to achieve effective work-life balance day after day, week after week, month after month, and for the duration of your entire career. Jeff Davidson observes, "Achieving work-life balance does not require radical changes in what you do. It is about developing keen insights and sensible, actionable solutions that are appropriate for you. It is fully engaging in life with what you have, right where you are, smack dab in the ever-changing dynamics of your existence."

The solutions offered in Staying Balanced, Personally and Professionally are uncomplicated. A tiny adjustment here, a slightly altered way of doing things there, and voila! You are more energized, more productive, and more enthusiastic about work than you've been in a long while.
