More work/life balance news

You know, this blog isn't only supposed to be about work/life balance issues. It's also about parenting, law school, parenting while in law school.... I suspect we'll talk more about those things once classes start. Meanwhile, here are three new articles about work/life balance. While they aren't necessarily directly on point for what we're looking for as future lawyers, it's interesting that people are talking about work/life balance more and more.

The King County Bar Association's Bar Bulletin newsletters has two articles involving work/life balance issues. The first is a discussion of how some people prefer the 70-hour-a-week lifestyle, but that it can be hard on marriages:

The article includes the following intriguing line, though it offers no definitive answer:
"So, are those among us who decry the erosion of life balance just whining about a culture that doesn’t include them ... and may, perhaps, be leaving them behind?"

The second article is about how it's important to find fun in your life, even when you're working too hard:

The third article is a list of very specific tips on how to maintain your work life balance. I like it because some of the tips are really concrete. For example, change your email so you get messages when you're ready to check them, instead of the moment they arrive. The list is here:

Thanks to Mary Whisner for the tips on the KCBA newsletter!

Note:
1. For STRICT Whitehat sites, it is advised to create buffers to pass on linkjuice. i.e. social bookmarks, cloaked pages etc.
You can blast the site directly, but it entails risk.
Using buffers are 100% safe, speaking from experience.
2. Xrumer is a very technical tool. Just describe to me what sorts of effects you want and well make it happen!

The work/life balance is really hard. I opened a daycare in my house just so I could be with my kids more. Now I am starting my own Baltimore SEO business.
