Thinking About Your Work Life Balance

According to Lifehack.org you know you are out of balance when:

1. Your mail sits unopened for a week and you pay your bills late
2. You think that the more plates you can spin, the more you can have it all
3. You keep declining invitations with friends
4. You can’t remember the last time you talked with your brother
5. You forget appointments and blow off commitments (like working out, eating healthy)
6. You stop writing your task lists for the week and fly by the seat of your pants
7. You haven’t synched your PDA in weeks
8. You don’t care if you’re not on track with your plan
9. You can’t remember what’s in your plan
10. You don’t answer your phone or you’re always on the phone

Hmmmmm……

Some good worklife stuff that I have found this week…

The Gen Y Guide – BC Business Magazine – April 2008 – Check out these statistics: people aged 55 to 65 make up about 15 per cent of B.C.’s population. Those aged 18 to 28: almost exactly the same. Now consider that the B.C. economy added 400,000 new jobs in the past 10 years. Clearly these youngsters are among the hottest commodities in the province, not to mention around the world.  For more click here.
