3b. Complete the text with the words and expressions from exercise 3a
I’ve got a full time job and i’m tired all the time. I don’t need to improve my time management skills as i organize my time efficiently. But i do have to spend a lot of time commuting to work and it’s very time-consuming. One way i could save time would be to look at home working. My boss might like that as she could reduce the number of workstation. I could stay in touch with the office by email or phone. I’m not a workaholic. What i want is a better work-life balance so i can be with my family more of the time.
