How to Find Work Life Balance

- Image by Getty Images via @daylife
The other day, I was working late on a project and my dog came in and dropped his ball in my lap. “Not now, buddy – I’m working,” I said pushing him away. A few moments later he tried again. This time I looked up and saw a wagging tail begging for my attention. Hey, I am not made of stone.
For years, my work schedule prevented me from having a dog. Now that I do, I’m telling him to wait. Wait till when? There will always be projects, customers, demands, etc. Life doesn’t wait. Cherish your time and the time of others – it is not renewable.
We’ve all heard the Pearl Bailey adage, “time is money, honey.” How are you spending it? Remember you have life outside the office – I’m not suggesting you ignore obligations – however, sometime we all need to just go play outside.
Liza and I have been known to slip out on a sunny day to take the dogs to the beach. Could we have used this time to solicit new customers? Develop a new campaign? File that mound of paperwork? Absolutely! But when we look back on this venture, I want to remember the dogs, the customers and our friends – not the filing.
At Bear at Home – we believe in living life fully. We believe it’s important to occassionally take time to care about you. That means finding balance. That means exploring a hobby. That means calling in sick on a sunny day and just playing hooky. . .
We promise we won’t tell anyone . . .
