I’m also really focussed on work while I’m working. It’s turning that off that is the hard part…

I think you're doing a great job with all the balancing :) I don't have much of a problem with work/ life balance simply because I am really focussed and when I'm working, I'm all there - I don't faff around (well, not much). And that's all so I can get done and R E L A X with a book! Janet, I enjoyed reading your post. I think you’re doing a great job with all the balancing :)

Basically it does come down to scheduling, doesn't it? What I'm now trying to do is cut back my worktime on Saturdays to free up some time for working on my hobbies, without cutting into my time with Scott. Alex, I admire your self-discipline.

We don't get to see each other a whole lot due to my part-time job, so when we do, I don't fill the time with work. The only time I'll be on the computer on weekends is if he's doing something on his computer, otherwise, nope. What I find really helpful is to decide what will get done each week and each day (using Get Clients Now!). When that's done, I stop. Keeps me from becoming a workaholic. ;) I always take time for myself and for Raul. We don’t get to see each other a whole lot due to my part-time job, so when we do, I don’t fill the time with work.

It's amazing how similar our lives sound (working at home - with significant other ... and kids and all) and I do agree that as women we tend to put taking some personal time last ... this year I plan on changing that! I've gone back to carving out time for my bubble baths and my favorite music ... anything that's simple yet just for me! Thanks for sharing your "library" too ... it's always fun to see what others are reading. *SmiLes* Suzanne Hi Janet ~ Great post!
