Life-balance tools

I have been following Sparkpeople for sometime (thanks Andre). It is one of MANY resources that help users with life-balance solutions.

Employers are increasingly interested in helping employees with home issues. Why? Not only is it the 'right thing to do', but it also can have a benefit to the employer, by reducing the the spillover of stress from outside which may impact an employees productivity.

Sharing tidbits, URLS or tools is a low/no cost solution.

Here is an example of an article healined in the Sparkpeople newsletter I receive:

The Benefits of Eating Together

In the unlikeliest of contexts this weekend, I had a number of discussions about the environments we create for our children to learn and grow. The guest of honor during the weekend, Cory - asked how often we eat together as a family. At roughly the same time, the article The Benefits of Eating Together arrived in my inbox.

The top 8 list (!) from the article:

Reason #1: Communication and Well-Being
Reason #2: Model Manners (and more)
Reason #3: Expand Their World…One Food at a Time
Reason #4: Nourish
Reason #5: Become Self-Sufficient
Reason #6: Prevent Destructive Behaviors
Reason #7: Improve Grades
Reason #8: Save Money
