It’s time for another fun-filled edition of Travel Around the Internet, with your host, the Internet. Here’s how it works, a few years ago Al Gore was experimenting with a series of tubes and… you’ve heard it? How about this: we search Twitter for interesting travel links, click on them and then, assuming we find them worthy, we share them with you, the reader.

Long story short, we care.

Here are some official poll results that may surprise you, a new Hyatt Place study reveals that “the number of Americans struggling with work-life balance is 71 percent, nearly double what it was in 2006.” Actually, that may not surprise you.

However, this might:  While a struggle to achieve work-life balance is not new, the study did point to why that balance is no longer achievable.   Rather than compartmentalize their life, the average American is instead multitasking all day, every day.  A few supporting stats:

• 83 percent of Americans state they often take care of work matters from home
  
• 59 percent state they often handle personal matters at work
  
• 62 percent say they are ‘constantly multitasking’
  
• On average, someone working from home is doing five tasks simultaneously

I work from home and five simultaneous tasks seems rather low — maybe that’s on a Saturday.

Here’s the cool part, Hyatt Place wants to do something about their findings and they want to do it for you.  Yes, you. Hyatt Place has partnered with TaskUs.com, a personal virtual assistant service, to offer two lucky UpTake readers two months (30 hours) of personal virtual assistant service and a two-night stay at a Hyatt Place. You read that right. It’s the Hyatt Place Helps Sweepstakes. Read More »
