Have you
answered a work email during an important family event? Or taken a call from
your boss while on vacation? According to behavioral scientist and Harvard
Business School professor Ashley Whillans, "always-on" work culture
is not only ruining our personal well-being — but our work, as well. She shares
three practical steps for setting boundaries that stick.
Let’s recap the 3 rules below.
Reframe
rest: Find ways to be
present during time off instead of seeing it as an unproductive barrier. Treat
the upcoming weekend like a vacation and create clear boundaries with work.
Set team
goals for personal time:
Do it publicly, collect data, and hold each other accountable.
Negotiate
for more time: Savor
your weekends and allotted time off by requesting an extension on adjustable
deadlines.
I hope that
this TedTalk has provided insight into how to reclaim rest and achieve a better
work-life balance.
