For 41 years, my operating principle was; ◦ work hard, play hard and spend some time
as a father.
I felt my life was perfectly balanced. It felt like it had everything in it, all in the right amounts.

But looking back, it is clear that the balance I chose had consequences for the people around me at home and at the office. For instance, my kids were raised , largely alone, by their mother, Carolyn.
My defense, if there is one, is that those were the times. Fathers were different then. In general, it was assumed that wives stayed at home to make everything run smoothly.

Conflicts are natural because we are managing two full lives – life at work and life at home.
The result - Conflicts

Striving for a perfect balance

Is it a 50-50 split?
Or is a 70-30 split?
![Page 14: Work life balance show](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102816/55896cc9d8b42af35a8b4651/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Or is it a seesaw
Balance is elusive and difficult to maintain.
Compromises are constantly made, with the scales of balance shifting along with the occasional long workday or work assignment, family obligations, or any one of a number of life’s little surprises.

Getting it right is an iterative process.
You get better at it with experience and observation and eventually you will find it is not really hard.
It is just what and how you do things.
DO----LEARN----DO
Achieving work-life balance is a process

It is a choice to be made by every individual.
And good or bad he or she has to live with the results of those choices.
You reap as you sow

I wanted a career. And so I never had children. Maybe I would be able to do with children now. Still, 25 years ago, when I was entering broadcasting, it wasn’t possible to achieve the highest levels and raise babies along the way.
It was my choice. Of course I wanted children. But I chose to put my
career first, and I cannot blame anyone for my happiness or lack thereof.”

I hadn’t read the newspaper with a cup of coffee or played with the dog or called an old friend.
Every minute I was struggling with the logistics in order to meet everyones’s need but my own.
Technically, I was a good wife and mother and I was good at my job. Everyone else was OK, but I was miserable. I had to quit or I was going to collapse.
Today, she works from home. Her family has less money, she misses he old life as a professional.
But she feels she can breathe – and laugh.

For most it is just a feeling

Children are more likely today to come home to an empty house.
And then spend time with video games, television and the internet with little guidance to offset or control the messages coming from these sources.

At ABC Inc employees can actually balance life and work. She views ABC Inc as an extended family and everybody at the company helps out.
It is not unusual to find her 9-year old daughter in the office doing homework or having an after school fireside chat with the founder.
When she is traveling, her daughter will call the office to ask for permission to play Nintendo. The receptionist knows the routine and asks: "Have you finished your homework? Have you had your snack? OK, you can play Nintendo for 1/2 an hour". She then leaves a voice message "I gave Tara permission to play Nintendo". Unheard of in most companies.
She finds time in her busy schedule to refine her skills on the guitar. She has two daughters. She lives with her husband in, Connecticut.
