Dancing As Fast As You Can.
Never get so busy that you forget to make a life.
We hear so much these days about the need to find some sort of balance in our work and personal lives.
The trouble is there is hardly any time to find it, let alone actually live it. Unless, of course, you are (a) not actively employed at one or more jobs and/or (b) involved in a relationship that includes small children and aging parents.
But if you have checked off (a) and/or (b) you won’t want to miss this podcast on CBC radio The Current, Anne-Marie Slaughter on work-life balance without the struggle.
It is a thoughtful, provocative look at the issues of equality in the workplace, caring for children and elders, the place of women and men in the family and the shifting values in today’s society.
It is only 20 minutes in length but after you listen, you may want to pass this along to any of your friends and family members, many of whom are probably dancing as fast as they can.
