Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

You love each other. You would also like to finish a thought without being interrupted.Working from home together can bring welcome closeness, flexible days, and more time under the same roof, while also turning ordinary details into recurring disagreements: a loud meeting, a closed door, dishes that somehow become one person's responsibility, or an evening that disappears into unfinished work.When your home becomes two workplaces, a household, and the setting for your relationship, even a loving partnership needs clearer agreements.Balance at Home offers a warm, practical approach to sharing your working days with greater consideration, fairness, and ease. Michael Fink explores the everyday arrangements that help each person feel heard, protect their attention, and remain connected without being constantly available.Across eight thoughtful chapters, you will discover how to: - Create workable boundaries around space and interruptions, even when you share a small home or have no separate offices.- Build a daily rhythm that respects both working lives, including different schedules, concentration needs, breaks, and finishing times.- Share household responsibilities more fully, recognizing the planning, remembering, and follow-through behind visible chores.- Speak about friction with greater clarity, using practical conversation examples to express needs, listen carefully, and repair difficult moments.- Make room for privacy, affection, and independence, so that time alone and time together both have a welcome place.- Support each other through demanding weeks, with specific requests, realistic limits, and a plan for returning to a more sustainable pace.- Create agreements that can change with your circumstances, rather than relying on assumptions that no longer fit.Each chapter combines substantial explanations with recognizable situations, reflection questions, and manageable practices you can adapt to your own household. You can begin together or read on your own, choosing one recurring difficulty as the starting point for a better conversation.Whether you both work remotely every day or share the house only part of the week, this guide helps you look beyond the immediate irritation and understand what would make daily life easier for both people.There is room for serious work, meaningful rest, personal freedom, and a relationship that receives attention from both of you.Begin with one clear agreement, and make more room to enjoy the life you share.
