Work Life Priorities – Put Family First Poem

Here’s a poem I wrote that pretty much sums up the Work-Life Priorities message. Take THAT you work-life balance advocates!

Put family first

And work a close second.

By the end of your life

You’ll have less regrettin’.

Guess who wrote it? Emily Dickenson? Yates? Shakespeare? Nope – me!

A few more items, like what? Wine, chocolate, a motorcycle ride into a beautiful sunset?
Yea but good work hits a spot that nothing else does too.
That’s what makes this whole work-life conversation so complex. No easy answers, just the same end – we all die someday. The question is, how do we want to live?
