Work Life Balance

Life should not interrupt work. This is not about hours in the office — it’s about effectiveness of those hours. People should be rested, healthy and free of distractions during their work day.

Habits

All habits turn out to help. Here are some of the main ones.

• Sleep 8 hours.
• Get to work by 10am (i.e. no dawdling in the morning)
• Set priorities (including home life)
• Meditate (this is the limit to how far we should coach emotional or therapy issues).
• No alcohol (do not address addiction — but do suggest this to people that have a party habit)

Common Questions and Prompts

• How are your energy levels at the beginning of the day and the middle of the afternoon?
• Did any personal responsibilities come up today?

Mastery Characteristics

• Arrive to work healthy. That means sober, rested and fed.
• Block off times during the week to get personal projects done: groceries, cooking, exercise, chores.
• Get consistent sleep.
• Delegate chores to services.
• Exercise regularly.
