Work-life balance

Many people try to balance work and other parts of their life. However, this is very difficult to
do. What are the problems associated with this? What is the best way to achieve a better
balance?

People today are increasingly concerned with individual happiness and work-life balance. The
main problem for most people is that work takes up too much time and causes mental health
issues and the best way to achieve this balance is to work more efficiently.

The primary issues associated with work-life balance are the amount of time people must spend
working and how this impacts their mental health. Since the global financial crisis of 2008, the
job market around the world has become increasingly competitive. This means that old workers
may get pushed out of their jobs by younger graduates willing to work for less and that new
graduates have to put in enormous extra hours to catch up. The end result is more work, which
eats away at a person’s private life. Once your free time becomes restricted there are a variety
of related mental health problems that can appear. For example, someone who is overworked
can suffer from excessive stress, some forms of depression, and obesity because of the lack of
time available to exercise. That is why there has been a sharp rise in the last decade in these
problems.

The best way for people to combat being overworked and get more time for their personal life is
to work more efficiently. In an ideal world, there would be ways to alleviate the burden that put
less stress on individuals but making the most of your time is a more pragmatic solution. For
example, smartphones allow people to get a lot of work done in what were previously wasted
hours in the past. You can send emails, make phone calls, and use productivity applications
when waiting for the bus, train, or standing in line. People will have to make the choice not to
scroll through Facebook or read the news but that is a small sacrifice to have some extra time at
the end of the day to do their hobbies or spend time with a loved one.

In conclusion, the problems associated with poor work-life balance are especially apparent
because of the current economic climate and the best solution is to find ways to maximise
efficiency. If more people changed their daily habits related to social media and using the
internet, then they might be able to find more worthwhile passions and not feel as though their
life is passing them by.
