Comment on Forget Work-Life Balance And Build A Lifestyle by Chrysula Winegar

I am not going to defend the term work-life balance other than to say this is not an either or proposition. I see your point; indeed work is part of life and to live holistically is part of the goal here I think. But your approach is very assumptive. Leaving at 5pm because I have other equally or even more exciting/pressing things to attend to does not mean my eye is off the ball at work. It just means priorities interchange and it just so happens that for many working parents, or singles in grad school at night, or people with elderly parents to attend to, or people who have friends other than those they work with … you get the gist … that things happen in their lives that take them away from their desk at 5pm. Doesn't mean you hate your job. Doesn't mean you're not committed. Doesn't mean you lack passion or vision. Just means you have other stuff on. Simple.

It is so true that building relations in your business is the first thing you need to establish to see success. Some people do that by sharing things for free, some do that by creating highly unique content and some do that by getting personal. I am trying to combine all three and in the long term I?m sure this will work.

This is beautiful! I am a gen yer working in the banking industry. This article is true in so many ways. And the thing of it is, is that our generation is learning from past generations in the work place. We want to spend more time with our family, yet we want to have productive and successful jobs. I do see our generation being more efficient and proving that we can get the amount of work done in less time than what we are having to put in and a lot of that comes from our creative and efficient minds along with technology. I don't see how this can be "scary" or a bad thing. When i read this i just wanted to jump up and down! this was written back in 08 and it has been over a year and the things of this article ARE becoming more common practices!

Comment on A Workaholic or a Passionate Worker? by Penelope Hinson

You hit the nail on the head. The lines of my personal life and work life are fuzzy. I love what I do. It is so much a part of who I am and I've built relationships with some pretty fabulous people with whom I enjoy spending time doing fun stuff, as well as working. My old friends know I'm in my element and they're also still very much a part of my life.

Oops sorry!

>> the rewards I should get from an employer should be equally rewarded from my "life" activities – equal to the rewards I would get from seeing my kid play soccer, or helping out at a homeless shelter.

Long time no post!

I would also like to throw in the point >> the rewards I should get from an employer should be equally rewarded from my employer – equal to the rewards I would get from seeing my kid play soccer, or helping out at a homeless shelter.
