But when did it become acceptable for our 9am to 5pm working day to become 8am to
7pm? Many of us have allowed this to happen, whether it is through conforming to the
workplace culture, or feeling obliged to put in more hours, however this should not be the
case.
Maintaining work life balance is not only important for your personal health and
relationships, but it can also improve the efficiency of your work performance.
Importance of Work-Life Balance
10. "Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - work,
family, health, friends and spirit - and you're keeping all of these in the air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other
four balls - family, health, friends and spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be
irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You
must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
