The Real Lawyers, Real Lives survey series investigates how legal professionals manage well-being. We all know what we "should" be doing, but what do we really do in our daily lives?

The difference we make is asking subjective questions - does it really matter if you're doing well in someone else's opinion? No! It only matters how YOU feel.

We've launched the series with a topic that often uncovers more questions than answers - Work/Life Balance. I'm not a fan of the phrase, but it seems here to stay. Some call it Work-Life Fit, or Work-Life Integration. I've thought about using Work-Life Choices. You get the idea. Balance implies you must steal from one area to give to another, and that you'll always have conflicting priorities. Fit, Integration, Choices - these terms give you the power to choose the life that works for you; for your goals, for your circumstances, for your priorities.

Weigh in! The survey is very easy and takes less than 20 minutes.
