Most of us haven't been successful in achieving a work/life balance. It remains a Holy Grail shining in the distance, always out of reach. For those who feel they have it, it seems to have come down to overcoming the guilt they feel as they sidle out at 5 pm while everybody else is still in the office. Small wonder that elusive balance preoccupies us all more and more. But what if it isn't really a 'balancing act' at all?What if we didn't have to choose between work and life.What if we all needed to start thinking and acting in a different way, and if we did it would be possible to do a great job AND go home on time?Bestselling author Fergus O'Connell says it is possible - and in this book he shows us all how to do it. He argues that work/life balance is actually about exchanging a situation where you are working longer and longer hours, feeling more and more stressed and victimized, and not always meeting your targets, for a situation where you incontrol, unstresses, meeting your targets and going home to your life on time.With equal combinations of wit and wisdom, Fergus shows how you can get rid of bad habits and find that extra time we all need. He sets out the behaviours and actions necessary to take hours back from work and give them back to you - without compromising on your work performance (and rewards).Simply put, it is possible to be successful and have a life outside work. This book shows you how. «
