The Price You Will Pay for Work-Life Balance | The Professor Is In - 0 views

  • work-life balance is possible, but it takes vigilance and absolute commitment, it requires that you defy the expectations of your colleagues in the department and in the field at large, and that you be prepared to suffer a price for it, in terms of speed of promotions, raises, and career advancement.  You *can* have work-life balance, but it will be in resistance to, and defiance of, the norms that govern academic careers, and you will suffer consequences, and you need to be prepared for them.  And consequences that you don’t experience in terms of career advancement you might well see in terms of your physical health and mental well-being.

    Work-life balance is possible, but it takes commitment and it may also come at a price. The cost may be a promotion or a raise. This cost affects women more than men, because women leave the profession to be with their families.

Off Balance On Purpose: The Future of Engagement and Work-Life Balance - 0 views

  •  
    So this is a TED talk- very interesting perspective. I have been listening and reading to different ideas of how this work/life balance isn't something we need to achieve, that it is not achievable, or practical for that matter. But by accepting that "off-balance" with a purpose and direction is reality and is how you achieve success then you will be more successful in the areas of your life that is important to you. It is all about your purpose. It an interesting idea- I wonder what people think...

Santa Clara University Report on Work-Life Balance Study - 0 views

  •  
    This is a report on a study that was conducted on the work-life balance at SCU. As expected, the study includes surveys and interviews. I am impressed that an administration would care so much that they would spend the resources on conducting a study on w0rk-life balance.

    This article resonates with my own definition of work-life balance, or rather my interpretation that it is an artificial bifurcation of one's life. Or, "Again, there is no work-life balance in academia. You need to figure out what works for you and when you work best."

5 Tips for Better Work-Life Balance - 0 views

    Work_Life Balance All
  •  
    Another quick list of work-life balance ideas. I use the early wake-up plan myself and find that those 2 or 3 hours before the rest of the family awakes can be really productive. I also like to exercise at mid-day while most of my colleagues eat lunch. I find it easier to eat lunch piece-meal before and after my workout. I think it keeps my energy more even throughout the day.

Take a scholarly approach to work-life balance issues (essay) @insidehighered - 0 views

  •  
    This article suggests not using fellow faculty as subject matter experts in work-life balance issues that require interacting with administrators or human resource personnel. The recommendation is to treat each challenge as an opportunity for research and to seek out the appropriate sources, much like a study or investigation.

    A very interesting, albeit dated, study examining how an institution's culture can be (or attempted to be) changed to facilitate greater work-life balance. The results revealed that questions of work-life balance largely had gendered components that were more difficult to transform through typical culture approaches.

"Why We Have to Rethink Work Life Balance," by Forbes (Interview will Cali Williams Yost) - 0 views

  •  
    This article helps us to understand how the work-life balance conversation emerged and why it is so meaningful, and so different, from traditional conversations about work versus personal life of prior generations and decades. The dialogue is largely driven by the new economic realities of the 21st century and, in turn, the inability and/or attempt by large employers and employees to adjust.
