Work/Life Balance Versus Ergolibrium

On the surface, ergolibrium may sound the same as work/life balance, but it isn't. Ergolibrium focus on keeping our work in balance which is only a subset of work / life balance. It's important to maintain a healthy work/life balance, but keeping each aspect of our lives balanced leads to overall balance. Taken as a discrete unit, our work itself should be balanced. I refer to this as the law of the rubber band. People are like rubber bands; if you leave them lying around, they will go limp; if you challenge them, they will perform; if you stretch them too far, they will break.

For a good blog on a key aspect of work/life balance go to the following link http://www.slowleadership.org/blog/?p=344
