The Myth of the “Work Life” Balance.

Much has been written about this strange, almost mysterious concept of work/life balance. An industry of consultants, coaches, trainers and speakers have emerged as “experts” in this field.

I believe the whole work/life balance thing to be a myth - almost to the point of being fraudulent. It’s the same as the concept of “compartmentalising” your life into work and life.People have been “conned” into believing that work is not part of life!

What the..…so the premise is, when I go to work, I suddenly stop living???

The whole thing sounds like a juggling act! The same with time management; what a crock!

The reason we are not “in balance” is we are possibly in the wrong jobs, wrong businesses, etc…for us

The Point

Instead of work/life balance, how about total life experience? Instead of time management; how about life management. Throw out the balancing act; leave that to others who want to walk on tightropes. Consider a total life experience and life management, be it at work, at leisure, or at time for you. And watch the results!
