“Work-life balance” – the utopia we all strive for, yet can seem impossible most days, especially when working from home. When thinking of work-life balance, many often associate a perfect harmony of equal hours spent on work, and life outside of work. It’s not so black and white though, especially when home life has become work life and vice versa.
This “perfect balance” is really more of an ungraceful juggle, or rather a blending of both aspects of our life. It looks different for everyone (so try not to compare your situation to others) and could change on a daily basis. For example, this balance looks different for working parents compared to a single, post-grad student. But that’s OK.
People lead their own individual lives, and we all have our own priorities, especially after the last two years, that makes this balance unique to everyone individually. And while there is no perfect balance, we hope these tips help.
