Tipping the Work-Life Balance in Your Favor

COVID-19 LED TO A SUDDEN SHIFT IN HOW many of us did our jobs—our physical office space as well as when and how we completed our work. The traditional workday became more fluid, allowing for midday exercise breaks or family time, or simply wearing pajamas all day. With these changes, it became more natural to reevaluate our priorities and strive for the ever-elusive work-life balance. In this excerpt from her new book, THE LONG GAME: HOW TO BE A LONG-TERM THINKER IN A SHORT-TERM WORLD (Harvard Business School Press, September 21), top communications coach and branding expert Dorie Clark reveals creative ways to achieve your professional goals in tandem with your personal priorities. Clark’s book offers valuable insights into becoming a strategic thinker and accomplishing the end results that matter most to you.
