There is something that can be said about the individual that can leave WORK at WORK when the whistle blows 5 o'clock and can also leave HOME at HOME when the whistle blows in the morning.
Imagine being able to turn off all your at home worries and solely focus on the job at hand?
Imagine being able to turn off all the day's events and have a restful and peaceful evening at home with your family?
Some say that because of this age that we live in. The ALWAYS ON, ALWAYS CONNECTED 24/7 world we cannot break the electronic chains that tie us to work in the evenings and by the same token those chains that tie us to family during the day. It is because of the stress of always being connected that it is essential to have a place where you can go to escape the workplace.
To minimize the stress make home a WORK FREE ZONE (WFZ). The WFZ is where you will not check your work email every half hour. You will not do work from work for the sake of doing the work. You will not answer a work phone call because the phone is ringing. Guess what? That's why they invented voicemail and that's why people play "phone tag" so let the call go to voicemail and get with them later.
In the meantime, enjoy the time with your family.
Thank you,
