‘ Planning to create balance is great until illness, work crisis or kid trouble comes along!’

Karren Brady

I remember when I was young someone telling me that the secret to achieving a great balanced life was to have three psychological boxes. One for your family. One for your work. And one for yourself.

The secret, I was told, is to try and make them all the same size. If you managed this you will have achieved the holy grail of “work-life” balance. And people with good balanced lives are among the happiest.

I have to admit it is advice that has stayed withme, but I equally have to admit that over the years my boxes have not always been equal!
