Whether we're just starting out or are well into our professional journeys, we often equate our productivity with the number of hours we spend working. But do we really need to work endless hours, through weekends, and during vacations to be seen as stars? To find a healthy balance between our personal and professional lives, we need to make space for ourselves, define what we value most, and set goals that take those values into account.
Boundaries, Priorities, and Finding Work-Life Balance is filled with practical advice from HBR experts that can help you answer questions like:
- How do I make better decisions about my time?
- How do I set clear boundaries surrounding my work life and my personal life?
- What steps can I take to protect my energy and mental health at work?
- How can I pursue my passions while making time for my job?
You'll spend a significant part of your life working. This book will help you define what you need to feel balanced and fulfilled, on or off the clock.
