Blackberry Furthering Work/Life Balance?
I have finally stopped using a blackberry. I am more thoughtful and reflective as a result. My blackberry cannot affect my personal life anymore either. When at home, I am not thinking about work anywhere as much as I used to. I am a happier person and I have more balance in my life.
I would have guessed that others moving away from their blackberrys would have agreed. However, a recently published survey on mobile usage proves just the opposite. Most business executives insist that mobile technology has improved the balance between their work and personal lives. According ot the research, 4 out of 5 business executives are always connected to work through mobile devices. 77% of those say that it improves their work life balance as it allows them to leave work earlier and work even when they need to be at home.
