Students are use to juggling multiple responsibilities, but during the holidays they are expected to –among other things-- do the holiday shopping, entertain the kids while they are off from school, work, fulfill family obligations and study for finals.

While we can never lose sight of the end goal of success at home, at the office and in the classroom, the ever-important balance of work and life can’t be forgotten. So roll up your sleeves, put on your beach hat, and grab the nearest piece of grass, sand or couch – and take a look at our summer reading recommendations! From chick lit to advice and inspiration, these books are a great way to escape, even if it’s just for a few minutes a day.

With summer right around the corner, it’s a good time to take a step back and look at how to fit a healthier lifestyle into the daily routine.

Shouldn’t there be a road map to studying sans distractions? We think so too.

At the end of the day, the list of “to dos” certainly isn’t crossed off for most of us. From month-end reports to dirty diapers, from a research paper to putting dinner on the table, there’s always something more we can be doing.

However, we must always remember to balance all the needs in life.

According to Miles Jones “The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body, your mind, and your soul can become. The more efficient these key dimensions of your life, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to product outstanding results” (The Spirit of Teaching, 2007). This basic idea may be applied to any job. Achieving Life Balance 2009-08-21T05:01:36+00:00
