This week, we officially said “goodbye” to summer and ushered in the beginning of fall.
We’re entering the season when cooler temps and shorter days send us increasingly indoors, and we start to turn more of our attention toward home.
This time of year, perhaps more than any other, is the time when we strive the most to find balance between our personal and professional lives, especially as our calendars fill with family gatherings and school functions.
The autumnal equinox, when night and day are of equal length, offers the perfect opportunity to consider just how to strike that balance, and just how important it is, writes Forbes contributor Francis Booth in a recent story:
