10 Ways To Keep A Good Work Life Balance When Hybrid Working – RingCentral UK
Modern life is demanding. Sometimes, very demanding. How we work, rest and play have changed a lot over the years. The modern family will often have both parents working to meet life’s financial challenges in the 21st century. And for a single-parent family, those challenges can be even greater. Many people seek to find the ideal work-life balance that will reduce the likelihood of physical or mental health issues and improve their quality of life. The kind of balance that will allow more time to be spent with the family or pursuing leisure activities, and to regain ownership of that sense of ‘me’.
But just what is work-life balance? And does hybrid working offer the ideal way to achieve this? With time split between home and office, it would certainly seem so. But it is not necessarily as easy as it sounds. It won’t just naturally occur, so we look at ten ways to achieve and maintain that work-life balance working from home.
How To Turn Your Backyard Into A Butterfly Sanctuary – Gardening Mentor
Iconic is the most appropriate word to describe the Monarch butterfly. Most of us have fond childhood memories of the unmistakable orange and black beauty flitting around the blue sky on sunny summer days. They were everywhere — and their presence was so magnificent. Their name, in Greek, means “sleepy transformation” in recognition of their ability to hibernate and metamorphize — and if you’ve ever watched it happen through a glass jar, you understand why.
If you’ve been feeling like you don’t see as many Monarch butterflies as you remember seeing 5, 10, or 20 years ago, you’re not imagining things. Loss of habitat, along with pesticides and the eradication of the Monarch butterfly’s host plant (Milkweed), has resulted in Monarch butterflies becoming endangered.
When we hear about an endangered species, it’s hard not to feel helpless and insignificant. But, unlike with many endangered species, you — yes, you! — hold real power to make a positive difference in protecting the Monarch butterfly and helping their populations thrive right in your own backyard. Here are some easy ideas to get you started. Let’s make a positive difference together!
How Strong Does Your Wifi Password Need To Be? – LinkdHOME
Regardless of what you may think about your appeal as a hacking target, cyber security is a real issue for everyday people in the 21st century. Whether it be organized criminals wanting to profit off your identity and empty your bank accounts, or some vindictive script kiddie wanting to mess with your life over some perceived online slight, we have a responsibility to protect ourselves and our family’s information.
The subject of home cyber security could take us in many directions, but as our homes become increasingly wireless it seems like a good time to revisit the first line of defense. You’re front door, and the key used to open it, is now your WiFi network and it’s authentication process. You might say that’s all well and good, but what use is the hassle of a strong complex password if the system can be hacked regardless. The good news is that the current wireless security standards are still reasonably robust, but that concern is valid, so we should stake a look at the state of play first.
How To Read Body Language To Reveal The Underlying Truth In Almost Any Situation – Lifehacker
You’ve likely heard that body language accounts for up to 55% of how we communicate, but reading non-verbal cues isn’t just about broad strokes. The same gesture can indicate a number of different things depending on context.
In this post LifeHacker takes a look at three common situations in which non-verbal cues are especially important – detecting lies, going on a date, and interviewing for a job – then explain how to interpret body language more accurately so that you can read between the lines when a person’s words aren’t necessarily conveying the way that they honestly feel.
Living Paycheque To Paycheque? Here’s How To Build A Money Buffer – HuffPost UK
Let’s be honest with ourselves: most of us are short of cash. Even those who earn a decent salary can often find themselves eeking it out at the end of the month – while others are forced into severe budgeting just to stay afloat.
An exclusive study by HuffPost UK and BBC Radio 5 found two-thirds (65%) of people in their 20s have less than £500 in savings – and 30% have none at all.
One lost payday, a lost job or a huge bill could tip most people into the red.
Add to that the expenses of our day-to-day lives – student loans, travel cards, running a car, phone, rent and utility bills – some which we can plan for but many that surprise us – and you can be left with little cash to build secure foundations for the future.
You work to live. So if you’ve got a decent-ish income but zero savings – how do you start creating a money buffer?”
