Time is “Not” Always On My Side
I don’t know about you, but work-life balance can get off kilter at times, actually more than at times, a lot of the time. I was listening to the Rolling Stones station the other day and the song “Time is on my side” came on. The first thought that came to mind was that this song is the exact opposite of most of my days. However, it does not have to be that way.
When you run your own business or make your own hours, I have learned it is critical to make a schedule and set boundaries. However, that very statement alone, while easily said, is not so easy to execute when you are constantly looking to keep your book of business filled. Below are some good articles with tips on achieving the holy grail of “work-life” balance.

I will leave you with this quote from Jack Welch
“There’s no such thing as work-life balance. There are work-life choices, and you make them, and they have consequences.”
