Multitasking is the new super-power! Nope. Not really! Living a full life of multitasking can lead to burnout and stress which can lead to many other physiological and psychological issues, some of which can have direct effect on the relationships with those you live with and those you work with…even the folks you may commute to work with! Joe will take a look at traditional “work life” balance, dispel some myths and create a conversation around “work-life harmony”. The “music” of busy-ness will always be loud, but how will you find the moments to decide what you need to do to lower the volume?
