My opinion on the whole idea of achieving work-life balance is that it’s something that has been around for centuries and can never be completely achieved. The reality is, being an adult with a job is tiring and time-consuming, and that’s just how it is. It may be difficult for some young professionals, particularly women, who have been inundated with unrealistic images of adult professional life, to adjust to the demands of work. But the fact is, working is exhaustive and requires exertion. Balancing work and life is a constant juggle that requires prioritizing and multi-tasking. I worked in the military for twenty years and now work a 40-hour week, and I can say from experience that finding that perfect balance is a challenge. But it’s not about having equal or spread-out time to do everything we want or need to do; it’s about learning to adapt and make the most of the time we have.
