Work-life balance is impossible
Yes, that was an intentionally provocative headline, but the numbers seem to bear it out.
Consider:
- 94% of workers in the professional service industry work over 50 hours a week
- 48% of Americans consider themselves to be workaholics
- 77% of employees have experienced burnout at least once in their current jobs
So, should we just throw in the towel? Hardly.
In this video, I discuss work-life integration and how we can find a healthy balance between these two sides of our lives.
With some reframing and practice, we can find a way that keeps positive energy flowing in both our professional and personal lives.
Also, as a reminder, I recently announced that The CEO Circle will be launching in March and will be a terrific eight-week mastermind with like-minded peers.
