Researchers readily acknowledge that the concept of work-life balance has been elusive to define and often even more elusive to achieve. "Work" encompasses a wide range of experiences, and "life" is even broader to encapsulate, which has made the construct of work-life balance very difficult to scientifically examine and measure. Unfortunately, these challenges have largely resulted in studies that have limited value not only for the advancement of the construct but also, more importantly, for offering scientifically validated and practical solutions to the public.
Historically, recommendations have included a variety of "work less and live more" strategies. However, these strategies rarely work. Work-life balance, like most complicated and multifaceted human experiences, isn't a math equation or a programming code. There is no one-size-fits-all formula. Yet, because we've heard for decades that work-life balance is achievable and here's the simple formula for how you do it, unsuccessful attempts to attain it often result in increased anxiety, depression, guilt, and the ultimate imbalance, burnout.
