Work Balance - The Picture

I sit here in a doctor’s waiting room. Recent temperatures have been swinging by as much 30 degrees Fahrenheit. The receptionist said they have been busy non-stop for the last two months. When I asked her if they had been challenged to keep their balance, her face lit up with a smile. “Absolutely”, she said.

That woman immediately connected with the importance of balance as it relates to work. Take a look at the symbol of ergolibrium that is showing on the left side of this blog. Which part of your work belongs on the anvil side of the symbol? Which part of your work belongs on the quill side? If your work is out of balance, you will only be able to proceed at one speed – slow.
