This is hands down one of the most clear cut views to navigate the elusive quest for work life balance. Primarily, if enough people can shift to start thinking like Nigel Marsh, that critical mass of minds can’t help but ignite more interest not only in work life culture, but our definition of success. It’s an individual journey, but it can have massive implications. Loved this and plan on blogging on it!

i think watevr he said & derived in one year of taking an off i could have done sitting alone n thinking to myself calmly in a day…this is no rocket science everyone knows doing the smallest things matters the most n being in the same industry as him i know wats he saying exactly!

anyways i found this video pretty average

I am inclined to agree that he is stating the obvious. The need for some flexibility from employers and some attention paid to work-life balance is as clear as day. People work too much – I believe as employers, employees and self-employed, we all can all try harder to find balance between work and life. Time for YOU.I believe that 21hours could be the basic working week as opposed to the massive 40hours (or a lot more). It is too much and cannot be sustained for a lifetime. People are not machines.

The Future of Work

The moral basis for 21hours a week is upon the idea (I believe) that if living standards are improved (for example – time for leisure, health, good food, family etc.) that people will get by with less money. There may be some middle way between the existing system and an imposed 21 hour working week. Germany would entertain this idea at least as their culture is very family orientated (for instance – they do not open their shops on a Sunday so people who work in the retail sector do not have to work on this day). Here in Britain, on the other hand, this would never wash. We work the most hours in Europe.
