Show us how you #AchieveMore in the latest #LumiaChallenge



Our working lives are more hectic and all-encompassing than ever, so much so that Emily White, a Facebook executive, has coined a new term for the phenomenon: work-life merge.

While there may be less free time for us, thanks to technology like smartphones we have the possibility to use that precious time ever more creatively. This creativity is exactly what we’re celebrating with our latest #LumiaChallenge.

Here’s looking at you, kid!

This #LumiaChallenge, running from Feb 23rd – March 8th, is all about illustrating what inspires you outside of your 9-5 – we want to celebrate the creativity of everyday life. What do you do when you’re really you, when you’re able to express the very essence of yourself? We’re reaching out for your photos, which show what you love doing best as an individual, as opposed to a professional. How do you achieve the most satisfaction and make the most of the hours (or minutes, or days) that belong exclusively to you?

We can all #AchieveMore

If you feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day (don’t worry, you’re certainly not alone), start small. A minute here, another one there. These busy professionals from our @Connects community have all shown it’s possible to #AchieveMore outside your professional life, taking time for things they are passionate about.
