Life Balance

What is life balance anyway?

Simple answer - balancing your work commitments, your family, your personal responsibilities.

Simple answer but not so simple to actually achieve.  Family First?  Well definitely not last.  And don’t forget that family is more than just the children, spouse or partner, parents and grandparents are all part of the clan.  A two or three day break, two or three times a year with your spouse or partner is most important.  Guard your family time carefully.  Children grow up so quickly, so don’t be left wondering ‘where did it all go?’  There will come a time when you have the time but they are too busy.

So?

• Learn to plan
• Prioritise and involve family
• Every now and then, involve your family in things you may not think are interesting to them.  Maybe the kids could tag along at times to see what Mum and Dad are doing in the outside world.
