BY KRISHNA CHAITANYA

For 41 years, my operating principle was;

work hard, play hard and spend some time as a father.

I felt my life was perfectly balanced. It felt like it had everything in it, all in the right amounts. Jack Welch

DEFINITION OF WLB:
A self defined, self determined state of well being that a person can reach, or can set as a goal, that allows them to manage effectively multiple responsibilities at work, at home, and in their community

No man / woman is busy in this world all 365 days. The sky is not going to fall down if you take few days LEAVE and meet your dear ones.

HOW DO WE KNOW WE ARE OUT OF BALANCE?

Most of us are trying to juggle a range of activities: Work and Career Family Responsibilities Self Development and Learning Social and Sporting Activities Community Involvement

WHY? Why? WHY? Why do we want a higher Salary? Why do we want a bigger house? Why do we want a better job?? Sense of Achievement Self Satisfaction Resultant Joy

WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO US WHEN WE ARE OUT OF BALANCE?

The result - Conflicts

Conflicts are natural because we are managing two full lives life at work and life at home.

ACHIEVING WORK-LIFE BALANCE IS A PROCESS

Getting it right is an iterative process. You get better at it with experience and observation and eventually you will find it is not really hard. It is just what and how you do things.

DO----LEARN----DO

A balanced life is one where we spread our energy and effort emotional, intellectual, imaginative, spiritual and physical between key areas of importance

At home

Children are more likely today to come home to an empty house. And then spend time with video games, television and the internet with little guidance to offset or control the messages coming from these sources.

FOR MOST IT IS JUST A FEELING

When we feel fully satisfied with both our personal life and our career it can be said that we are balanced.
