I love quotes and often use them in my presentations. Here are some of my favorite quotes on work-life balance. Some of them are quite profound. They get you to think about priorities, choices, boundaries, and the importance of taking time for yourself. Sometimes a quote will impact you in a way that really helps. As you read them, think about your own challenges in balancing work and the rest of your life. See if there’s one quote that really resonates with you. Then write it on a 3×5 card and put it in a place where you’ll see it often. This can serve as a daily reminder.
