3 rules for a better work-life balance | The Way We Work, a TED series
Did you answer a work email during an important family event? Or received a call from your boss while on vacation? According to Ashley Whillans, behavioral scientist and professor at Harvard Business School, the “always-on” work culture not only ruins our personal well-being, but also our work. She shares what bad habits keep us from getting what we need in our free time and three practical steps to setting boundaries that stick. The Way We Work is a TED original video series where leaders and thinkers offer practical wisdom and insight on how we can adapt and thrive amid changing work conventions.
