The biggest issue people have when trying to schedule their upcoming week is they are attempting to bring this “Work-Life Balance” theory into the realm of reality. We want to discuss why you are not going to find work-life balance.
Work-Life Balance is a Myth
The thing is, this “Work-Life Balance” notion is a completely hypothetical theory – and not a fact-based practice.
