Is WORK-LIFE Balance A Myth?

Is WORK-LIFE Balance A Myth?

Anytime, I'm wholeheartedly ready to take back my words [and even EAT it too] if I embraced on something that was a myth and now it's time to debunk it.  So, Is WORK-LIFE Balance A Myth?  YES, today, the concept of balancing WORK and LIFE has been described as a myth itself, WHEN in fact it has the potential to be the truth that will set you free.  WHEN will we realize that one day, work can take over our life???

Problem is, that purported lesson [that WORK CAN TAKE OVER OUR LIFE] is a brazen and blatant lie, so to speak.  BUT since WORK LIFE BALANCE can exist, YES YES yoH, we can still attain it.  BUT let's debunk the myths because at the end of the day, it's true we can still achieve WORK LIFE BALANCE💥💥💥

For our average professional, beginning a new job means putting in extra time to prove a high level of dedication.  It also exists in situations WHERE a vested employee is searching for advancement opportunities and believes that if they push themselves hard enough they can get that promotion one is angling.  BUT hey dude, these situations are often innately flawed because of culture and even communications💥💥💥

A long-running myth we've embraced for the longest time is that TIME MANAGEMENT will set us free.  BUT researchers said that the practice of TIME MANAGEMENT principles can sometimes be compared to first time parents discovering all the different methods of raising a child WHERE every person has another new opinion and their studies showed that it truly comes down to WHAT WORKS for the person😋😋😋

Our takeaway:  Let's keep things simple here.  And this reminds me of that 8-8-8 notion I heard WHERE we were told to spend eight hours working, eight hours sleeping and eight hours on recreational and social activities.  And that sounds amazing, right?  BUT the reality is, I will be hard pressed to find someone who lives by that notion.  Today, we [wrongly] think that TIME MANAGEMENT means following the alerts on our Outlook online calendars to check off our commitments in our To-do List.  BUT WHAT if you DON'T focus on trying to do everything?  So, IS WORK-LIFE A MYTH???
