>How do you keep your personal issues from messing up your work life, while everything at home feels like it's falling apart? This is NOT limited to "managers"!! Everyone has homelife impacting work-life And vice-versa I have 4 young children (about to be 5) ranging from 10 to not-yet 2 They matter My wife matters My home * matters* My work matters If you overly compartmentalize, you are either highly autistic, or have no sense of empathy ... or you are panicked, and think shoving everything into its own box will somehow solve everything else! You are allowed to feel what you are going through - and it IS going to 'leak out' into other arenas of life! I feel the issues my wife is having with this pregnancy ... and while I do my best to alleviate her concerns/problems ... sometimes life is life, and you just Have To Deal With It™
