20、 drinking lots of coffee and arguing about Richard Nixon. If they had job-related stress, they kept it private. Now American families are expected to be more intimate.

24、 review their commitments-not only at the office but at home and in the community too and start paring them down. “Its not about getting up earlier in the morning so you can get more done,“ she says. “Its about saying no and making choices.“We can start by leaving work, and thoughts of work, behind

When you get home, change out of your work clothes, let the answering machine take your calls, and stay away from e-mail. When your kids ask about y
