Summary:

"Whether we're just starting out or are well into our professional journeys, we often equate our productivity with the number of hours we spend working. But do we really need to work endless hours, through weekends, and during vacations to be seen as stars? To find a healthy balance between our personal and professional lives, we need to make space for ourselves, define what we value most, and set goals that take those values into account. Boundaries, Priorities, and Finding Work-Life Balance is filled with practical advice from HBR experts that can help you answer questions like: How do I make better decisions about my time? What flexible work options should I explore-and how do I ask for them? How do I set clear boundaries surrounding my work life and my personal life? How can I pursue my passions while making time for my job? What steps can I take to protect my energy and mental health at work? You'll spend a significant part of your life working. This book will help you define what you need to feel balanced and fulfilled, on or off the clock. Rise faster with quick reads, essential advice, and relatable stories. It's not easy to figure out work when you're still exploring who you are and what you want in life. How do you translate your interests, skills, and education into a career you love while also navigating a new work environment? The Work Smart series explores topics that matter to you: being yourself at work, collaborating with (sometimes difficult) colleagues, maintaining your mental health, and more. Each title includes chapter takeaways and dozens of resources so you can go beyond the book to engage in the media you learn best. Work Smart series books are your go-to guides to step into and move forward successfully in your professional world"-- Provided by publisher.
