To much work and not enought free time. Thats so common now.
I even read today about a women who was extremely worried (worried sick actually-she was getting physically ill) because she wanted to ask her boss if she could work from home.
Her problem was she was not spending enough time at home with her kids. She mentioned in the article that her commute to work was about 90 minutes each way.
Maybe she sould have got some self help before she talked to her boss. Maybe the problem is that she’s wasting almost 20 per cent of her waking hours commuting to work. Holy crap thats stupid.
In some situations people really have to start looking for their own solutions and not look towards others. Sure getting some help and advise is fine. But really in some situations if you look inward you can find that some self help can provide the solutions.
In the case noted above it pretty obvious what the problem is. Its not the lack of working at home. No its the amount of wasted time in traveling everyday. Also the stress associated with the separation and the long commute every day would be part of the problem. She should have really examined her whole lifestyle and her priorities. Maybe move closer to work? There are so many different items that you need to examine when you approach the topic of self help. Make sure you start off the process with a clean slate and don’t just look for the easy solutions.
