Prashant, a software developer from India, was struggling with work-life balance as his job was taking up most of his time and energy. Thomas Bell introduced the concept of ROWE (Results Only Work Environment) to Prashant, where employees are evaluated based on results rather than time spent working. Prashant suggested this to his boss, who agreed to let Prashant lead a project on implementing ROWE. After one month of ROWE, employee engagement and productivity increased at the company as employees had more flexibility and time for other aspects of life while still getting their work done. Prashant was happy with the improved work-life balance.

Meet Prashant, a software developer from India, he is struggling with work/life balance. I need to get up early no matter what. Sometimes I work late night to finish some work and still end up getting up early. I find I have less and less time to deal with other things in my life since the job is taking up most of my time and energy.

Sounds familiar? Is your work STEALING your sleep too?
Thomas Bell introduced a concept to Prashant
ROWE (Results Only Work Environment) Where employees are evaluated on their results, rather than the amount of time that they spend sitting at their desks.
The basic concept is All that matters is that the work gets done. If you want to leave at 2pm and go watch your kids' school play, you can If you're feeling stressed and unproductive, and want to go cycling instead of working on a Tuesday, go for it! If you want to work from home every day, go ahead!
Prashant suggested this idea to his boss, to his surprise, his boss agreed and even assigned him to lead this project.
Prashant introduced ROWE to his colleges, theyre all very happy.
1 months later, their company changed completely, employee engagement goes up strongly, but surprisingly so does productivity. They can finish work as soon as possible, sometimes in the office, sometimes at home, they have enough time to do other things: sleep, exercise, shopping, play with the kids, etc Prashant is happy. everyone is happy.
So, can you lead a life like Prashant? Sure!
You can suggest the ROWE in your company, or you can always find a place where theyre using this, (Valve is a wonderful example) or you just quit and become a freelancer.
Examine your value system what is the meaning of work?
