Work/Life Balance Isn't Getting Easier

According to a survey conducted by Ajilon Office earlier this year, 55% of men polled say balancing work and home life is more difficult than it was five years ago. And women? 63% say the challenge has increased.

Interestingly enough, however, 77% of women surveyed indicate that being a parent helps develop leadership and management skills. 68% of men say the same: Despite the added stress parenthood brings, it can help improve your office skills. (via Fast Company Now)

It's About Time

Time is of the essence. It is the one resource that we're offered free of charge. It is also our scarcest resource -- the one that we value most. How we use time determines everything. So how can you manage time wisely? How can you make time, find time, and take time to do the things that matter to you most? Above all, how can you make a friend of time and use it to your advantage? To find answers to those questions, we talked to 17 people who make it their business to know about time. Their observations, which are as varied as their industries and personalities, offer new insight into what it means to have time on your side.
