Thank you for reading this because I know you are taking time from doing your work, to work on you!
When you make an effort to live at work with as much focus and mindfulness as you live your life, I call it “workstyle”…here’s my definition: 
WORKSTYLE is the integrated manner of an individual’s fulfilling life at work, with regard to values, presence, impact, influence and productivity.
It seems to me that we work to live, but we spend a LOT of time at work, and that maybe we have it backwards.
Let’s look at the numbers:
I’m making some basic assumptions here, but for the sake of making a point, please follow along…
Let’s keep in mind there are actually 168 hours/week (24 x 7).
If you sleep 7 hours x 7 nights, you have 49 sleep hours and that leaves 119 waking hours.
Then if you work 10 hour days, 5 days a week, that’s 50 working hours/week.
That leaves you 69 hours for your weekend hours plus the hours left each weekday.
Subtract your 34 waking hours for your weekend (we already took out your sleep hours)…that leaves you with:
35 hours, or about 5 hours each day, FOR YOURSELF!
Let that really sink in. You have 5 hours each weekday to live your LIFESTYLE! And how much of that is taken up with commuting, shopping for food, cooking, cleaning, home repairs, gardening, handling finances, coordinating kids, socializing and laundry and all the WORK you need to do in order to support your LIFESTYLE!
Obviously, you’re working hard!!! But we do it anyway, despite the frustrations, because there’s something driving us, motivating us, and calling us to dedicate our lives in such a big way.
Design your integrated workstyle…one that YOU design…that will build your confidence because YOU designed it…and get you to live a life at work that is as meaningful and fulfilling as the rest of your life!
Reach for YOUR star!!! Design your workstyle with as much (if not more!) care and vision as you design your lifestyle. Become the leader YOU want to be, through authentic self-expression creating value for yourself and others.
Achieve success: the progressive realization of meaningful goals…meaningful to YOU!!!
You’re on your way to reinventing your workstyle…making your daily efforts pay off for YOU and your workstyle as well as your lifestyle!
By taking small actions like reading this article and raising your awareness, you’re exhibiting a commitment to yourself. Knowing that makes my heart swell with joy, because I love making a difference with ambitious, dedicated business professionals. I also know the work we do together is vital to changing HOW we work, so we become more successful and become better leaders…and that makes our world a better place to work, to live and to share our lives, at work and beyond!
And please call on me for any support…because supporting you is the work that I love to do! My contact details are HERE.
