If one of your goals in life is to seek that elusive work-life balance that so many of us speak wistfully of, then this inspiring video is for you.  Aptly titled “The Other Hours,” this video was shot over the course of a year by Jeff Brines – a financial analyst working a daily 9-7 office shift who decided to seriously maximise his hours outside of the office.

The result: Jeff skied on 140 days and rode his bike for over 160.  He also shredded over 500″ of snowfall and (as a conservative estimate) exchanged over 1000 high fives.  If that’s not representative of a life well lived, then we’re not sure what is.
