With work life balance being our topic this month, I wondered how you felt the balance changed over the school summer holidays – do you find the pace more hectic or slower?

The long school break can affect all of us, whether we have children or not - there are less cars on the road during the usual school run for a start!

Parents can find their time stretched even more than usual, having to drop their children off at clubs, or bribe friends and family into looking after them, it can all seem more stressful than the usual routine.

More people tend to be on holiday over this period too, so you may well find your workload increasing.

We would be really interested to hear your thoughts on this and any tips on getting the balance right!
