Let’s reverse the order and topple the precarious work/life balance with life work infusion.
Work/Life balance has toppled. We failed by putting work first in the equation. Mobile technology has infiltrated home and family time. Balance seemed like an ideal state to achieve yet the blance we sought was never static and often quite precarious.
I am now focusing my efforts on life work infusion. I believe work can make use well. I know that life can infuse energy, meaning, and perspective into work while work can infuse connection, contribution, and results into life. This is just the tip of the life and work infusion iceberg. I am very interested in your infusions:
What does life outside of your work infuse into your work?
What does work infuse into your life outside of work?

If you choose to check and answer emails or do work during ‘life’ time it is exactly that – a choice. Work to achieve outcomes and if whilst doing so you find you are tipping the balance away from your wellbeing, stop and inform your employer. It is in both your interests to ensure you are functioning at your full potential. There’s only one you!
Thanks Vanessa. Like the comment “there is only one you.”
