RS89 - Why work-life balance is a myth

Описание: In today's episode, Anna breaks down this common-but-illogical concept and exploring the more useful idea of work-life integration.

The phrase 'work-life balance' means different things to different people I think. What does 'work' represent exactly - time spent in the office? And 'life' presumably means personal life? But it's unclear if we mean by that, spending time with your partner and your children, having time for your hobbies, maybe just taking a break from your office work...? And then 'balance' - what is balance? Is it some proportion of each of the two things? Usually we're talking about shifting in the direction of more life, less work... but then how do you measure that exactly? And is it 50-50 or is it some other mix? And who decides what are the correct percentages? Too much work and you die of a heart attack or at least end up sad and alone and too much life and your money might run out...

For me, work-life integration is a more meaningful concept.
