I have a friend who is always searching to have fun. Because he works so hard, he allocates "fun" into his schedule. So committed to having fun - he seldom finds it. I work for a very large private University. Because part of operation is in health care, the tensions are usually very high. The days go by fast and it would appear on the surface that few even can fathom a life/work balance. To these ends, the leadership has moved the organization's EAP department to create and deliver an ongoing series of balance-type seminars. What is most interesting is the fact that the array of offerings encompass a number of topics. To fully understand how to achieve life/work balance you must first understand that any level of balance can only take place when a person can divorce his or her wife when the person arrives to work and visa-a-versa. On the work side this was accomplished when the EAP sponsored seminars that targeted the baggage people can't leave at hope. Items such as property tax assessments, credit scores, and other items that bogs a person's mind down while they are at work. Full balance can be reached only when knowledge is provided from people who have real answers to real problems. When people maintain an unbalanced life, they do in fact consider changing jobs when in reality, the job may be the only true constant in their lives. It is a funny thing.
