Nigel Marsh: How to Make Work-Life Balance Work

  1. All discussions about flexible work arrangements, casual Fridays, and maternity leave avoid a fundamental issue: ==work often fundamentally conflicts with family life==.

  2. No one will care about your well-being. If you don't set limits in your life and design your own path, companies and governments will drain you.

  3. When is balance best? The answer shouldn't be "after retirement," nor should it be that you must balance every day. It should be about balancing occasionally within your means.

  4. Life is diverse; it means not just ==physical health==, but also ==emotional health==, ==intellectual health==, and ==spiritual health==. Seizing the right moment can yield significant returns from small investments.
