Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 18, 2008 -- A new Work-Life Balance study shows that most feel that life is running them ragged and they don't know what to do about it. Research among 1,789 adults showed that most people believe that Work-Life Balance is impossible. Among working women, a whopping 87% believe that Work-Life Balance is not possible to achieve. Among working men, an even higher 89% said that Work-Life Balance was not possible.

Analysis of the research results also showed that 96% of these working adults felt that the work-life programs offered by their companies were either ineffectual or inaccessible. Indeed, most of the respondents saw their failure to achieve work-life balance as linked to the failure of their company's work-life programs.

"The American worker has been bamboozled. Working adults have been led to believe that company programs will give them work-life balance. Nothing could be further from the truth," said Darryl L. Mobley, Work-Life Balance coach and founder of the "Work-Life Balance Mastery & Motivation Mastermind" group website which sponsored the research.

The Top 10 Signs that Your Work-Life Is Not Balanced, according to participants in the 2008 Work-Life Balance Mastery & Motivation Mastermind study, were:

1. Poor or worsening relationship with significant other.
2. Not enough time spent with friends.
3. Feeling constantly stressed/on-edge/cranky/angry.
4. Declining work performance.
5. Inability to focus on the tasks at hand.
6. Trouble sleeping.
7. Children acting up.
8. Constant feeling of fatigue.
9. No time for hobbies.
10. Trouble enjoying vacations.

"Work-Life Balance is definitely achievable. But Work-Life Balance will not occur due to any or several company programs. Work-Life Balance is achievable only when one determines their own proper mixture of, and goals in, the key life areas: work, family, friends, fun, and self. Then, a personalized action-plan must be put into place to ensure consistent progress in each of those five areas," added Mobley, who has been called the "Bulldog of Work-Life Balance."
