I try to read 2-3 books per month - 2 for "work" and 1 for fun. I've been reading books written by women this summer and while doing so have noticed that the word balance has been replaced with integration. I ran across the term again on Saturday after reading the latest issue of "Pink Magazine".
Inside was a feature article on a female CEO and a bit on female millionaires. [Interesting piece - did you know they average 39 work hours a week and gross a little over $400k?]
So, 3 writers I've come across in just the last 8 weeks are discussing balance - what it means - is it possible and well does it matter?
Personally I like the word integration. Balance to me seems like another to do..something else I have to add to my daily list of things to get done. I'm usually behind before I wake up every day. Integration feels like I'm fitting it all in and not stressing out if I get there 50% or 90% that day. It's much more zen to me...Cut yourself some slack and get some integration in your life!
