Work-life balance is definitely a hot on heels topic nowadays. Why? Simple: sounds easy, not so trivial to implement into your own situation. How many people would actually admit that they can't seperate work from their private lives? Not to others, no, to themselves...
With the world rushing towards constant change it is sometimes hard to keep up. On some days the pace reaches the gear you don't have with your engine...and yet you have to squeeze as much of it as you can to stay competitive. Considering this, finding this fine line between the job and personal life becomes even more difficult. Why? Well, of course if you can't speed up and get things done as quickly as others you have to spend more time on them to get them done at all and here comes...your free time! Yey...
The workaholism seems like more and more popular social disease in the modern society. It used to be completely different - 9 a.m. you got into the office, 5p.m. sharp you were out and so was anything work-related. Now, our work-life infiltrates all of our time. At some point in the world's evolution we became eager to sacrifice this freedom of ours. Why do we consciously surrender to the slavery of our professional life?
That's not just the matter of our dignity or freedom but also well-being. Insomnia, coffee-overdose, bad nutrition, addictions, etc. and heart attck is waiting for you behind the corner, calling. But again, it's nothing that we don't agree to, we push our limits fully consciously. We know what we're getting ourselves into and we don't complain. Well, not at first, we drag about how bad we feel then turn around and head up the same path we started on.
So, when does it end? When we reach our absolute limits? Do we need to get smacked in the head to shake the illusion off or maybe we purely enjoy the growing mountain of responsibilities and the addrenaline its chellenges bring?
