Work-life balance - getting it right!

Working for myself now, I seem to be working more hours than ever, which is quite a contrast to what appears as a bad dose of whinging from many in work. My friend Para Mullan, who's organising a session at the Battle of Ideas this year writes the following intro to her session:

Aaron Frost, chief executive says: ’The only natural conclusion is that people are using the service as a reason to take time off work.’
