As I often do, I end up in conversations with just about every person I sit next to on a plane. I like to learn about where they work, their family where they are headed. Of course they ask about my life too. And without a doubt they almost always ask “How to you balance the work and home life thing?” (which I would like to point out is not a question people ask working/travelling MEN all that often- but being a women it means I have left my poor children home alone in a crib crying I guess) but still, I answer them.
And my answer- kinda surprises most people.
“I don’t believe in ‘balance’, I believe in total integration. In other words- I like to merge my work and personal life totally together. I think if you like your work – it becomes part of your life. And in my case It all mushes together beautifully.”
So if you are struggling with keeping your work in one clear silo that never touches your home life – maybe it is time to re-think that.
