Gandhi when asked what he thought of western civilization famously replied that it would be a good idea. And perhaps many of us feel the same way about Work Life Balance. It’s elusive!
3 years ago I left my partnership in a law firm to avoid the trap of being controlled and overwhelmed by work. I now work less but better (with no real financial sacrifice). I choose the projects I work on and try to learn as much as I can from everything I do.
Making the change allows me to make time for writing and other things I love like travelling, spending time with my son (who lives in the UK), studying, doing microfinance projects and ocean swimming with the mighty Inedibles!
So while work life balance is a hard thing to achieve, it’s a great dream to keep in your mind.
