]]> Comment on Real time is the new prime time for the work life revolution by Michael Leiter http://www.worklifenation.com/2010/02/real-time-is-the-new-prime-time-for-the-work-life-revolution/comment-page-1/#comment-731 Michael Leiter Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:54:22 +0000 http://www.worklifenation.com/?p=2547#comment-731 Judy Thanks for a thoughtful post on an important issue. Policies and research have only scratched the surface of developing more workable boundaries of work and personal life. While info tech has provided the most powerful leverage for work to enter personal domain, it can be used by individuals and groups to assure a more balanced and informed dialog. My work has been primarily with health care providers who cannot expect a crisp separation of work and personal life. Managing that boundary for the benefit of both providers, patients, and employers requires a clear informed thinking. All the best, Michael www.workengagement.com Judy

I'm very fortunate to have this little one in my life. This is a big week. I get a car seat this month of my own as her daddy is out of town. I don't pretend to know motherhood, but the taste of it has added enormously to my life and will for the rest of my life. Thanks Kami – I appreciate the good thoughts and support.

There's something so validating to stumbling upon a community of people who are living your same experience. Or at least one that's similar. Your "niece" is a lucky little girl to have a village of people around her who love her and care for her so much. And her mom is so very fortunate to have people close to her that she can fall back on/include in this child's life. And you are fortunate too, Judy. What a gift to be able share your life with a child in this way! It's a very special situation you are describing and one that really brings an important perspective to our whole work/life discussion. Because raising children really does take a village. Even though we convince ourselves that we can go it alone. I’m so glad you found SavvyAuntie.com.

In life it's what often sustains us, but when the workplace itself is so uncertain, we often lose sight of the very thing that can lift us from the chaos. Thanks for your thoughtful response.

Good article also. We learn so much better if we find it fun. I don't know how many studies have now shown this. We seem to forget how we learnt as kids...you learnt so much during those times and it is due to how much fun it is. M Hi Judy,

Love the video! Good article also.

I know there were times I felt pushed around by the companies I worked for. When this happened I too wanted more interesting work. It's funny how relationships can dictate how we truly feel about our job. If we have good relationships the work seems so much more enjoyable. At least that's been my experience.

I need to make more time for it myself. Meditation is a great tool but the movement that yoga offers creates such a stillness in the body. Thanks for visiting! Happy Holidays Karl,
