Article: Manage Your Work, Manage Your Life (HBR)

Here is a very insightful article on balancing work and home life, and crucially relevant for we military leaders/commanders who typically feel a strong sense of duty to “stay engaged” at work.

Manage Your Work, Mange Your Life

Takeaways:

  • Define success for yourself (“what does it mean to have a balanced family and still meet goals at work?)
  • Manage technology (no brainer)
  • Build support networks (have an outlet at work and home)
  • Travel/Relocate selectively (involve family in decisions; make ‘time away’ a team decision)
