Sorry to break it to you, but work-life balance is a myth. In today’s frantically-paced world, there’s no room to lean towards one aspect of your life more than the other. Spending more time at work can cause you to miss out on personal milestones; but favouring life outside of work can be career suicide. How does this never-ending cycle close? Harmony.
Trying to achieve a 50/50 balance is actually setting yourself up for failure. If you’re not in balance you’re judging yourself for ‘failing’ to achieve this 50/50 split. That’s a lot of pressure to hold yourself accountable to.
