Sometimes the easiest way to get better work-life balance is to commit yourself (and your family, friends or partners) to attending stand out events you know you’ll want to go to even if you’re tired.
I found a couple of great free events in Brisbane in late May and June, so you have enough time to plan to get there, and they all offer different enjoyment or personal growth benefits.
So in the interests of working and living well, pick an event! Let us know how it is once you’ve gone in the comments section.
