I believe that life is a precious gift. So how could I possibly have a problem with a concept as universally accepted as work-life balance? I hope my brief comments are enough to cause you to re-examine this concept.
Work-life balance assumes there are two categories; one called work and the other called life and that these two must be kept in some kind of balance with respect to one another. But all I see is life. There is life at work and life outside of work and it is all life.
When Wednesday is hump day and TGIF you are making a statement about a large portion of your life. Life is too precious to just be passing through. Life at work is equally precious and meant to be lived fully. Are you making the most out of your life at work? Whether you love your job our hate your job it is still life you are spending. Live it with vitality and watch you time at work become a much more satisfying endeavour.
