Comment on Tips for work-life balance

Comments

It's almost like the diet and weight-loss industry. We spend way more time and effort on trying to solve the problems than on preventing them in the first place.

Want to balance work/life? Here's the secret formula which I'm giving away for free today only:

Work 40 hours / week

Sleep 56 hours / week

Play 72 hours / week

This formula covers everything discussed in the blog post. What's surprising about it is that it is nothing new!

We're way overthinking this. The American workforce has been getting up, going to work, coming home and enjoying time with friends and family and hobbies for decades without having an industry of workflow systems and work-life balance editorials. But to make it this simple sells no books, attracts no seminar attendees, and brings in no blog readers.
