Episode 47 - Life Spheres & Fidelity ... be on guard against blurring, creeping, and infringement
With the rise of remote work, it could be helpful to look for the red and green flags in our ability to separate our work lives from our personal lives. If we are not careful life spheres (what I like to call "Life Domains), might blur in such a way that one sphere creeps into and violates the boundary of another sphere. A red flag/green flag inventory will help us keep our feet firmly on the ground to create healthy and balanced lives. Quote: "Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground." - Wilfred Peterson Non-sequitur Truism: Squirrels can be squirrely T-shirt idea: Clarity of mind is a trip Showcase Resource: 1) Check out this article called, ``Could working from home crush your career?
