Re-setting expectations.
Because of the smart phones, email, tablets and lap tops we are all tethered to our work place now 24/7- When we are home we are still working. When we are on vacation we are still working. When we sit down with the family for dinner we are still working.
Our bosses and employers and customers expect us to answer email with minutes and supply answers.
In order to re-charge and have any semblance of a family life we need to shut it down.
Easier said then done at times when someone is looking over your shoulder wanting your job or you need that sale to reach your goal or just to maintain a paycheck.
We all need to Re-set our expectations and realize that to be more productive you need to have a good balance of work and family and personnel life.
Because it is more of a dog eat dog world out there and competition is growing to just obtain a job I do not know how or when this goal of re-setting expectations can be obtained.
I do know that for the good of this generation and the next we do need to find a way.
Family has to be more important. It must be our overall goal and priority. Your goal should be that you work so you can live- you do not work live so you can work.
We all get ourselves to a point that we want more and in the process we tend to live above our means and live on credit therefore we owe therefore we need to work more.
Want less- Prioritize- what is important- that answer should always be FAMILY-
