4 Hacks for Work Life Balance

February 28, 2015 by Nathan Miloszewski

If you’re striving for a good work / life balance there are a couple schools of thought.

Amanda Abella at Care2 wrote the article, Why Work Life Balance Doesn’t Exist, saying that:

Work life balance became a major buzz word in the health and lifestyle community because people felt like they had to find ways to handle stress…The reason so many fail at work life balance is because they try to cram their activities into a perfectly balanced schedule…The point is the life is fluid. Nothing is ever the same. By trying to “balance” our lives into equal parts we’re working against that.

On the other hand, The Independent’s Antonia Molloy is reporting that A quarter of UK professionals are unhappy with their work-life balance, survey finds:

Advancements in technology make it harder than ever to ‘switch off’ outside the office and achieve an ideal work-life balance.

Oops, and here we are at VoIP Supply selling some of that mobility and Unified Communications technology that doesn’t allow people to “switch off.” Shame on us.

Well, whichever camp you fall in to, here are some time saving ideas to help make your working life easier and your business grow faster without you working 24 hours a day.

9 Secrets to Increasing Your eCommerce Revenue: “The average American spends more than 2,000 hours a year – working. Yet why do we still feel like we are always behind?”
