Work Life Balance Is BS
Summary
- When talking about work-life balance, some may think I'm crazy.
- If I say play-life balance, people might agree because everyone likes the idea of playing all the time.
- I get paid for doing things I enjoy the most, which feels like play to me.
- On a Sunday, I choose to work because I love what I do.
- People may interpret the word "work" differently based on their experiences and perspectives.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing strategies that align your work with things you truly enjoy. This way, work doesn't feel like work; it feels like play. Here are some actionable steps:
Identify Your Passion Areas
- Take a moment to list out activities or tasks that you genuinely enjoy and why. This could be anything from problem-solving to helping others.
Integrate Passion into Work
- Find ways to incorporate these enjoyable tasks into your daily business operations. For instance, if you love talking to people, focus more on customer service or networking.
Block Time for Enjoyable Tasks
- Dedicate specific time slots to work on tasks that you love. This makes your schedule more enjoyable and less stressful.
Make Work Feel Like Play
- Create a work environment that brings you joy. This could be music, a comfortable workspace, or even working with people you like.
Monitor Your Feelings
- Keep track of how you feel during and after work. If certain tasks consistently drain you, delegate them if possible, and focus more on energizing activities.
Evaluate and Adapt
- Regularly assess your work-life balance. Ensure your work remains aligned with what feels like play. Adjust as needed to keep the excitement alive.
By aligning your work with your passions, you will enhance productivity and enjoyment. Work becomes less of a chore and more of a fulfilling activity. This shift in mindset and practice can lead to better results without feeling drained.
