Erin of Unclutterer fame tried a novel approach to work-life balance one weekend:
On July 3, I decided that I was going to take a break from my laptop and from work for the three-day holiday weekend. Unfortunately, I had a few small tasks I needed to do over the weekend, so I knew I couldn’t […]
We talk a lot about work-life balance since many people want to balance or fit the two together.

I’m sharing this with you simply because of the line, “Ted Nugent is the poster child for work-life balance.”
I’m sure I should say something wise here about what he can teach us, but, I am distracted by the fact it’s The Nuge.
It’s the 4th of July, a holiday in the United States and Friday elsewhere. […]
Occasionally, when I read something about work-life balance at my place of business, I bristle, but I’m not sure why.

Even though my dad later admitted that he had no idea I would work after I had kids (not sure how he thought I was going to pull that off), he definitely influenced my thoughts and attitudes about work-life balance.
