work life balance
DESCRIPTION
Slides from a presentation I gave at the CMS Experts Europe meeting in London in Feb. 2013. I talked about how I try to stay sane and discussed with the members what they do in terms of work life balance. The talk was mostly based on an opinion piece in the NYT, which is referenced at the end, because it reflected my thinking about the matter.TRANSCRIPT
