It’s time to debunk one of the biggest myths of modern life: we should all be striving for work-life balance.

You might be curious as to how I could pooh-pooh such a sensationalised idea. Yes, work-life balance is a concept that’s been held up high, glittering as the ultimate key to happiness. It promises a neat, tidy split between work and life.

But let me ask you something—when was the last time life felt genuinely balanced? If you're anything like me—or indeed like anyone living in the whirlwind that is the 21st century—it probably hasn't felt balanced at all. But here's the kicker: that's not due to your failure. It's because balance is a myth.

Let’s unpack why this idea of balance isn’t as effective as it seems, explore why chasing it leaves us weary and frustrated and—most importantly—discuss what we can do instead.

We’ll discuss finding integration rather than balance, getting clear on which tasks to prioritise and practical steps towards living with intention.

I implore you to be kind to yourself. Remember, life isn’t about perfectly balancing every facet. It’s about aligning your work and life with intention, cherishing what matters and honouring your unique rhythm.

So go ahead and take a moment today to embrace intentional living, designing it in a way that aligns with who you are and what you value most.
