With reference to this post, I found another interesting 'side' article on the same paper. It's a tips on how to 'get a life'. <- I started thinking that my Dad actually wanted me to read this one..
- Develop a daily or weekly routine of non-work activities, so you learn to enjoy things other than work. These could include regular exercise, prayer or meditation, reading relaxing or uplifting books, etc.
- Have a regular commitment to doing something involving other people, such as going for a walk together, playing games, meeting for coffee, having a night out, etc.
- Beware of trying to pack in too many extra activities, with the result that your non-work time ends up as busy as your work time.
- Pay serious attention to your spouse/partner/parent/child/close friend when they urge you not to work so hard.
- Be cautious of time management gurus. Although they give helpful advise about working efficiently, their technique often encourage the tendency to cram in as much useful work into a day as possible. Your aim is to reduce your work, not increase it.
