Today we’re sitting down with Dan Gisser of Advicoach to talk about the work/life balance, and more specifically, what can we all do to make work more fun? We’ll be discussing how short term changes differ from long term changes, and what our aims should really be. And most importantly, where do hobbies fit into that balance?
