Creating a Life That Works in the Flexible Job Age
In the age of smart phones, laptops, iPads, and working from home, we need to manage our attention and work-life boundaries to ensure well-being. This book will help you understand your boundary management style — are you an integrator, separator, or cycler — help you gain boundary control for yourself and understand the styles of those you live and work with to help foster well-being and reduce e-overload.
“The authors' motivational, encouraging tone is infectious, the advice solid and easy to implement. Frazzled readers may benefit from this helpful and wise approach.”
- Publishers Weekly
“It steps away from the mainstream idea flexibility is all good and that flexible jobs automatically benefit employees. Flexibility also can be a trap and requires monitoring.”
- Arriane Ollier Malaterre
