BalanceBalance
Work–life balance is a broad
concept including proper
prioritizing between “work”
(career and ambition) on one
hand and “life” (Health, pleasure,
leisure, family and spiritual
development) on the other.
Related, though broader, terms
include “lifestyle balance” and
“life balance”

Work is about a search
for daily meaning as well as daily bread, for
recognition as well as
cash, for astonishment
rather than torpor, in
short, for a sort of life –
rather than a Monday
through Friday sort of
dying…”Studs TerkelStuds Terkel
