I read a work email at 10:30pm, that was an hour ago. I am still angry at what it said and also frustrated that I read it on a SUNDAY NIGHT. (It was sent a few hours earlier by the interim dept chair who works on weekends, I guess.) /sigh/ taking some breaths with Milli purring on my lap is helping. Is caring this much a gift or a liability? Maybe both.

(27 Aug) - 66% of Americans want European-style vacation policies, like being OOO for the entire month of August https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/25/66percent-of-americans-say-they-want-extended-european-style-vacation-policies-at-work.html #CNBC #AmericansVacationPolicies #EuropeanStyleVacations #ExtendedVacationTime #WorkLifeBalance #AugustVacation #Politics #News https://mastodon.sdf.org/@uspolitics/110958892878789461

Sometimes you have to put your foot down. Just because you're working from home doesn't mean you're always available to do chores. Or fix something instantly.

And just because you look like you're doing nothing doesn't mean you're available. You're taking a break. You need time for yourself. Don't ever feel guilty about this.

PS. Now time to wash those dishes. 😆

How's your work-life balance?

One year ago today, the Work-Life Balance Directive entered into force, setting out minimum standards:

🔸 Introduction of paternity leave,

🔸 Strengthening existing right to parental leave,

🔸 Introduction of carers’ leave,

🔸 Extension of right to flexible working arrangements.

The law on Work-Life Balance ensures parents and carers can care for loved ones without sacrificing the love of work → https://europa.eu/!tf43Vq

Work 🆚 Life. Why should we choose between both?

A year ago, the rules on work-life balance entered into force in the EU. ⚖️

This EU law helps citizens share parenting and caring responsibilities while having equal opportunities in the labour market.

We fully support the implementation of this principle across the EU as an integral part of the European Pillar of Social Rights.

Together, we can work towards a stronger social Europe.

"How do you enjoy when traveling and working remote full time?"

Came across this thread in an FB group and it made me pause and think. I've been contemplating about this for a while now. I want to travel while working remotely but I'm having doubts. How do you balance travel and work? 🤔

Meine #WorkLifeBalance ist aus dem Gleichgewicht. Zuviel Leben, vermute ich.

Auf unserer gestrigen #Radtour 🚴🚴zwischen #Sindelfingen und Weil der Stadt haben wir ein paar wunderschöne Motive einfangen können. 🦋 Eine wunderbare Gelegenheit, den Kopf freizubekommen.

Einfach wirken lassen ... 🌸

#Productivity #WorkLifeBalance

Third Time - A focus/productivity hack that's more flexible & kind to your mental stamina than fixed Pomodoro work/break intervals.

Basically, the method is:

1) Work in stretches as long or little as you like
2) When you need a break, take off 1/3 the amount you just worked

Time for a week off 😎
#WorkLifeBalance

I’m taking June and July as leave and plan to dedicate the time to my family and myself (in that order lol). I’m really fortunate and thankful to be able to do that.

My team keeps asking me if I’m going to be 100% away and I keep assuring them that, yes, I won’t even check slack. They just respond with “good” - I hope that’s positive??😳😅
