What is work life balance?
We live in the digital age where the millennial generation has adapted a lifestyle of a boundaryless society (Fabrizio Gerly, 2015). The digital age has controlled each and every one of us and personally, it has negatively affected my work life balance.
Fortunately, I have learned to adapt flexibility in managing my work life balance. Because of insured connectivity, I can work on different time zones and even outside of my geographic area. Because technology has allowed me to work and connect with other people easily, anytime and anywhere, I wanted to adapt this lifestyle. Hyper connected information age is to my advantage. I have to openly adapt and be flexible of what the digital technology has to offer.
Although it is true that the challenge would be on how to be successful in managing the balance of one’s work and life, I believe that the best way to achieve a work life balance would be to first identity your goals and priorities in life and be determined to fulfill these priorities. Second, the virtue of endurance plays an important role to have a work life balance. Because patience comes with endurance, I learned to be flexible and be able to adapt to changes patiently without disrupting my work life balance. Success is what I am yearning for. If people are smart, resourceful and have the positive attitude that each and everyone have their own goals, then we will have our ways of getting what we want. Just make sure that your work life balance is always steady so that you will be successful.
I used to work 10 years ago where we don’t even have reliable computer connectivity and it was so different from this fully digitized age. I thought that I can’t adapt to these changing times and might not manage my work life balance. But I am so determined that whatever technological set up I have now, is a challenge to be even more positive in reaching my goals in life.
