Your Lifestyle Quotient
30 Dec
By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day. -Robert Frost, American Poet

What is a measure of lifestyle. Most people consider it to be the physical things you own or the amount of numbers in your bank balance. But I don’t, I think measuring lifestyle quality is a lot more than that. So I set out to find the best way I could to calculate lifestyle. It’s only when you start to ask the difficult questions such as the following that you can even consider redesigning your own life.
- How many hours do I work for each day of vacation?
- What percentage of my life do I really spend working vs. doing something I want to be doing?
Enter the Lifestyle Quotient (LQ) This simple calculation will show the real facts of your work life balance (or in-balance). The results will probably shock you. They did me. Remember there’s no point earning £100,000 a year if you never have any time to enjoy it.
To calculate your lifestyle quotient simply use the form here.
Now try and guess what your bosses lifestyle quotient is, after seeing that getting promoted to his job may not seem so tempting.
