REFLECTION QUESTIONEducation & LivelihoodHow does practicing a work-life balance create a more sustainable life for you? How might it contribute to sustainability more broadly?
jonathan Whitehead 4/06/2023 9:54 AMWork is my life and I love almost every minute of it so I have always practiced work-life integration. If you feel the need daily, weekly, or monthly to 'get away from it all' I believe you are in the wrong job. I suggest quitting and finding something you love where you can't wait to get up in the morning. -
