Welcome

This blog has been created to allow participants in the work/family conflict reading groups to discuss their thoughts about the books and/or the issue of negotiating the competing demands of work and family. Since you can read and post messages any time, you can participate at your leisure, making it easier for you to get the most out of our reading groups without necessarily adding to the tensions of managing work and family. I encourage you to use this venue for sharing your responses, relevant experiences and ideas for alternative ways of making work and family more compatible. The blog is meant to be a companion to our scheduled reading group meetings - an opportunity to get some feedback on ideas we have or express our opinion about something we are reading about in our book. Just as important, by participating on the blog, we can, at our convenience, begin the process of developing connections with each other.

Time Management

After reading many articles and and business journals, it is clear that time management is very important. Men and women need to be able to balance their careers as well as there family lives. It is clear that if there is too much time spent at work, the family will suffer. If a man or a woman has a child, they must be able to have a presence in their life. It is great to be ambitious and have career goals, but the well being of the family is sometimes more important. This pertains to both men and women. This is a homogeneous issue that all working adults must consider.
