In a very detailed article, Sara Robinson of AlterNet presents many compelling points to bring back the 40-hour work week. 150 years of research proves that long hours at work kill profits, productivity and employees. I totally agree with the point that most managers use a single, warped, easy-to-chart metric to measure passion: a willingness to spend your entire life at work.

Entrepreneur vs. Work-Life Balance
Decent article in the WSJ about entrepreneurs' personal time getting the short shrift. Some good points and some scary ones in the article. I always say it's about setting expectations and boundaries. If you don't, you can end up like two people in this story... one skipped a friend's wedding and another gained 30 pounds! I really like the last line... "When you make time for yourself to be healthy, your business will thrive. It's not a sacrifice. It's a shift in attitude." Well said.
