Work-life balance or work-life synergy
As jobs started getting done more digitally, the work-life balance started to suffer. I get many things regarding work done at home, but then it slowly started affecting my family time. If you are too thinking that your work-life balance is gone, I think its time to re-think whether you need work-life balance or work-life synergy.
For many professions, the work-life balance still works to an extent. But if you are in a role like sales, customer support etc. and you handle work through Whatsapp, Slack or Email apps installed on your personal phone too, what you need might be work-life synergy; because if you leave work at the office, it may affect the business.
So what exactly is work-life synergy?
Work-life synergy/ integration is an approach that creates more synergies between all areas that define life: work, family, community, well-being, and health. With work-life integration, work and life are blended together in a way that aligns with the interests of and meets the unique needs of the individual.
Okay, how to achieve work-life synergy?
- Work with a purpose in mind.
- Keep a schedule.
- Truly love what you do.
- Take advantage of your phone and apps in it.
- Focus on productivity, not on time spent.
- Take vacations when you need it.
