Yes, language defines how we think, and the choice of words is important. But I don’t think I’m stuck in a loop trying to find the ‘balance’ between work and life, because ‘there can never be balance’. If you work a 9-5 job just cut off any work after 5. Adapt to the environment, if everybody is slacking and you don’t win anything by working too hard, than don’t work too hard. I think you should strive to maximize the return on your time. Be it more money for less time, or more enjoyment, more satisfaction, you need to understand why you spend your time, and how to get the most out of it.
