Quantity at Home and Quality at Workplace — An Insight
Once again, thanks to Brain Tracy for this wonderful insight
Which of the lives define your “Worth” — Personal or Professional?
No right or wrong here, but still, a lot of us (including me) tend to identify ourselves by the professional work we do.
Who are you?
Ask this question to anyone, and the usual answers pop up—narratives on the current job, education details, list of clients, business card and so on.
Imagine starting instead with our hobbies, side-hustles, family values, relationships we enjoy and so on.
Isn’t that a new way of defining ourselves?
A 10–12 hour day at the office, a couple of hours of commute and we come back home to spend some “Quality” time with family.
Brian says this is a wrong approach.
“Quality” time should be spent at the workplace so that you can produce high-quality and speedy work.
“Quantity” of time should be spent at home because that is what our families expect from ourselves.
People and workplaces which do not attempt to understand and act on this philosophy inch towards dissatisfaction and unhappiness.
