Work hard, play hard, and don’t forget to keep on learning.

We are definitely not afraid of hard work, and we’re lucky to enjoy the work that we do, which makes it easy to put in the hours to deliver the polish of quality that we strive for.

But we know (and we’re often reminded by friends and family) that all work and no play, isn’t healthy. And while you need some pure play time, you also need to allow room to grow and learn.

So, how do you fit in all of the working, playing and learning to make sure that you’re living a well-balanced life?

It might seem dorky, but we have colour co-ordinated calendars marked with ‘meetings’, ‘working’, ‘playing’ and ‘learning’. It’s a little like putting together a balanced meal, with a good variety of delicious colour on the plate; we’re always trying to make sure that there is a nice mix of colour in our calendar.

And this week, is one of those precariously balanced weeks which is filled to the brim with each or our staples. (Don’t worry Mum Tang and Mum Helm, we’ve factored in time to sleep!)

If you’re in need of some play-time or some mind-food to balance your working week, join us at the Opening celebration of The Kitchen on Thursday night, or get an early start at CreativeMornings on Friday to listen to Cut Collective walk us through their Splore 2012 project.
