Work-Life Balance is a Myth. Here’s What to Focus on Instead…
Let’s be real!
Work-life balance?is a myth.
Trying to divide equal time across all areas of life doesn’t lead to fulfillment; it leads to mediocrity.
Instead, we need to embrace the idea of?work-life tension—a powerful tension that comes from managing priorities and driving outcomes.
Here’s how it works…
Some goals require a little time, others need a lot.
Life isn’t a two-hour block for work and another two for family—it’s about being purpose-driven.
When we choose outcomes that matter to us, we naturally spend more time there.
Imbalance?
Yes! But it’s?a strategic?imbalance.
The truth?
Many think balance is the answer, often driven by guilt over purpose, but it’s actually a recipe for frustration.
Fulfillment comes from investing more time in what aligns with your core values, not from spreading yourself equally across everything.
Think of it as being “strategically selfish”—prioritising what matters most without the pull of “keeping things balanced.”
Life isn’t about balance—it’s about embracing purposeful imbalance, choosing outcomes that align with who you want to become.
Fulfillment is found in alignment, not in balance.
