ABA Journal continues "Work/Life Balance" coverage
The ABA Journal's Question of the Week this week focuses on "work/life balance," asking "What's your personal work/life balance, right now—and are you happy with it? How many hours have you worked in the last seven days? How many of the last seven days have you taken off from work? Is this typical?"
I'll be following the answers posted on the ABA Journal website and their Facebook page, and I'm interested to see if responders speak of "priorities" and "sacrifices" as has been the theme thus far.

General Interest The Fantasy of Scheduling "Work-Life Balance"
The ABA Journal recently picked up a Texas Lawyer article by coach and psychologist James Dolan on the fantasy of achieving a perfect "work-life balance." While Dolan's article is thoughtful and hints that finding this balance requires some introspection into the meaning and purpose of one's life, the ABA Journal's distillation is flat and trite. The article reduces his advice to "work toward a schedule that allows personal and family time, knowing that sacrifices have to be made on one side or the other."
