People want to integrate work and life for a variety of reasons that
change over time and span the lifecycle. In the past, people assumed
work and life had to be strictly divided. But this is no longer true.
Both men and women are realizing how possible it is to have meaningful,
satisfying work as well as meaningful, satisfying lives outside of
work.
This section of the website is designed to give you a picture of how people are redesigning work to create more time for family, community and other life passions....you will find stories ranging from a grandfather who eased into retirement from running an architectural firm by caring for his baby grandson, to an accountant who negotiated with her managers to make time for her creative writing. Our goal is to present a variety of perspectives on how parents have creatively set up their lives to care for their children, and more! Each of the stories we have picked illustrate one of the four general reasons people combine work and other activities, depicted in the graph below. To read one of the stories click on the appropriate link.
