You Be Balanced Too is for people at work who hold many roles at once, at work, at home, in the community and in their own lives, and who want those roles to support each other.
It draws on research on work-life integration, which treats balance as finding ways for the parts of life to strengthen one another rather than as a constant trade-off. Here you will find wisdom on priorities, boundaries, rest, simplicity and the habits that make a way of living sustainable.
You receive a personalised card deck and an ebook, both carrying your own name on every page. Each A4 card has a theme, a short description and an image on the front, and on the back a gathering of quotes from many voices and wisdom traditions, with room to write your own notes. The ebook holds the same wisdom as a flowing book with a clickable contents page and a dedication written for you. The themes follow ten dimensions, among them Life Balance Across Domains, Priority Management, Boundary Setting, Time and Energy Management, Rest and Recovery, Multiple Life Roles and Sustainable Living.
On WorkSmart4Life it sits on the WorkSmart library shelf, and it is one of the editions The Edge can give as a level reward for practice in Sustain courses, the move about energy and recovery. Each card invites you to reflect on its quotes and choose one that speaks to you today. I suggest you begin with the first dimension, Life Balance Across Domains.
