Work/Life Balance…An exercise in Valuing and Sequencing Life Choices

Athens, GA (April 12, 2004) “You can do anything you want to do, but not everything … all at one time,” is the life power message delivered by Karla Brandau on April 7th to the Graduate Women’s Business Association of the Terry College of Business.

Asking the attendees to take 100 points and divide them between fame, fortune, and family was the first exercise that helped attendees to start their valuing and prioritizing process. Brandau continued, “If you are clear on your values, you will make better decisions, be able to recognize value conflicts, and give yourself permission to stand up for your choices. As you finish your degree, it is not the time to take up a new hobby like sailing or start the adventure of building your own house…sequencing life’s activities is a much better strategy.”

Brandau also urged the MBA students to “live in the moment” meaning they should approach each day with the confidence they can handle the challenges and with a mindset to “balance” their work/life experience by taking time to enjoy and experience the “intangibles” of life each day. Intangibles can be anywhere from spontaneously going out for pizza to taking off your watch and listening to a troubled friend.

Brandau is a time management and balancing life expert from Atlanta. She has written “Wake Up The Winner Inside” and can be reached at 770-923-0883. Her Web site is www.timeforresults.com.
