Unlocking the Secrets of Work-Life Balance
A Guide to Pursuing Your Dreams Without Burning Out
The Work-Life Crisis
We’ve come a long way from the early days of the Industrial Revolution when people would work 12-hour shifts, seven days a week, in factories. But we still have a long way to go.
Ask most people how work is going, and they’ll reply, “Busy!” Everyone has a lot to do and not enough time to get it all done. The explosion of time-management and productivity books in the last 30 years is evidence that most people feel like they can’t accomplish all they need to at work.
This constant feeling of falling behind is leading many people to work longer and longer hours. Consider these statistics:
● 66 percent of Americans who are full-time employees don’t believe they have a good work-life balance
● The United States ranks very low in terms of work-life balance (30th out of 38)
● A whopping one-third of all employed Americans work weekends or holidays
● One out of every 10 Americans works 50+ hours per week
It would appear that, for many people, work-life balance is a myth.
Why are things so imbalanced for so many people? While each case is unique, there are certainly common threads:
● Long commutes
● Demanding, unsympathetic bosses
● Difficulty getting time off
● Being asked to work overtime
● Unnecessary and unproductive meetings
● Ever-increasing responsibilities
On top of all this, many employees are constantly connected to their workplace via their smartphones. Even when they’re out of the office, they still receive a steady stream of work-related emails, text messages, and chat messages. The constant communication makes it even harder to fully stop working.
But is work-life balance really that important? So people work long hours and don’t take much time off. Is that really a problem?
Yes, it is.
Working too many hours hurts your relationships with friends and family, causing you to miss important events and spend less time with loved ones. Overwork also can cause significant health problems, including:
● A weakened immune system
● Significant fatigue
● Increased risk of heart attack and stroke
● Depression, anxiety, and irritability
● Higher stress levels
As if these things weren’t bad enough, an unhealthy work-life balance also creates challenges in the workplace, causing low morale, employee burnout, high amounts of turnover, and lower productivity.
Considering that work-life balance has ramifications for your health, relationships, job performance, and overall satisfaction in life, this raises one hugely important question:
How do you actually move toward a healthy work-life balance?
After all, it’s one thing to talk about the value and importance of work-life balance. It’s something else altogether to actually make it happen.
In this guide, you’ll discover proven strategies that will help you move toward a more pleasing work-life balance.
Techniques and tactics for how to be more productive during job search, including how to find more time and concentrate on the most important things. Expanded and updated version for 2016.
Being organized is a habit and you can make it happen by following some golden rules and using specific tools and techniques. Find out more on how to stop procrastinating and use your time more efficiently.

The Campsite Rule - Leaving the Tech Industry Better Than We Found ItKristine Howard
Closing locknote delivered at the DDD Perth conference on September 16, 2017.
Improving the codebase for the next developer is a great goal, but what about making the industry better for the next generation? In this talk, Kris will debunk some of the damaging myths and ideas we’re all guilty of perpetuating, the ones that lead to stress and burnout. Fortunately there is an antidote - becoming a mentor! You’ll learn how you can change your own behaviour and thinking, be more supportive to those just starting out, and feel more engaged and inspired in your work - all with minimal effort. We all have a responsibility to make things just a little bit better for those who come after us.
My Website Can Vote - The Challenges of Maintaining a 20-year-old WebsiteKristine Howard
Talk given at WordCamp Sydney on September 24, 2016.
The Web is an industry that thrives on the new… but what about building sites that last?
In 1996, I used my newly acquired HTML skills to build a fan site for my favourite author.
Twenty years later, the site – roalddahlfans.com – is still alive and kicking.
I’ll trace the development of the site over the years, which mirrors both my own career journey as a developer and the trajectory of the web as a whole.
I’ll also talk about the challenges I faced during my recent 6-month project to convert the whole site – nearly 1500 pages – to WordPress, dragging it into the 21st century at last.
