Work Life Balance

Work life balance is something that I take seriously. My typical weekday work hours are as follows:

• 8 – 8:30am at home
• 9:30 – 6pm at office
• 9 – 10:30pm at home

I usually work 5-10 hours over the weekend.

In addition, I have the following goals, which I do a good job of keeping:

• No more than two business trips per quarter
• No more than an average of one evening business event per week
• No more than an average of one morning business event per week

This week has been more hectic than a typical week due to holiday parties and events. Generally, setting up these rules makes it easy for me to make sure I maintain the work life balance I’ve chosen. My advice, especially if you have a spouse, is to do something similar so that both people are on the same page.
