Boundaries, Priorities, and Finding Work-Life Balance (HBR Work Smart Series)

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?

This book 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.
