I Don't Know How She Does It: How to Create Your Own Work-Life Balance

With so many employees working in a virtual environment, it's easy to feel like you live at work 24/7. Your office is now in your house just steps from where you sleep and eat dinner. While the benefits of being able to put laundry in during your lunch break may feel like you've got a handle on your life, the work you do is on your phone… with you… on the weekends. It can be a constant reminder that you never really left the office to decompress.

2. Get a better understanding of how your values match (or don’t match) your actions
