Fill In The Blank What Does A Balanced Day Look Like For You

At first my philosophical brain thought, “That’s not a definition!” But maybe work-life balance needs to be more than an abstract concept to each of us. Maybe it’s better if we can pick three things that make our day a good day. As Nigel Marsh notes in his TED talk, you’ve got to be realistic. While his ideally balanced day consists in playing sports at lunch, meeting friends at the pub, and having sex four times, that won’t be happening anytime soon....

That is: they’re missing out on opportunities to connect with customers, resources and investors to build their business....
