From dads, we most often hear it's time with the kids that's lacking. From women, it's usually self-care--an hour or two here or there to exercise, get a facial, read, or just think. |
If you use your vacation time to catch up on chores--or worse yet, don't take a vacation at all--you're not getting that essential recharging that relaxing time off can give you. |
Often, people think, 'To get real balance, I'd have to radically change my life.' And that's not practical for many of us. But all you really need to do is make incremental change. Even making two or three relatively small changes, and freeing up a few extra hours a week, can make a huge difference. |
