Wow. > Time with your family is much more enjoyable if you incorporate fun, work, creativity, and fitness, instead of seeing it as taking away from those things. I hope OP reads this. "Work/life balance" is corporate speak for "my personal shit is none of your business". I don't have much of a life and a lot of what I do is work centered and that is all on purpose on my end. But the relationship between work and personal life is absolutley subtractive and adversarial. You can do what you want on your own time but not on work time. If I have a work goal I need to get done, I can easily spend all of my time and energy on it which means I can't do whatever I want personally. I know a lot of people that don't put in as much me because they have actual families. There was a work situation where I had to work 12+ on weekends and evenings straight for a few weeks, people I counted on and mentored were bailing out because they had family committments. And that is what balance is. We have 24 hours in a day, you can't have two things as your #1 priority at any given time of the day. I absolutely never ever want to invole anyone at work with anything in my personal life either and many agree with me on this. I did try to this b.s. before and things did not go well. Don't eat where you shit. My personal life is for me to do whatever I want. I don't need to work if I can't do what I want with my compensation from work. This is the critical difference between an employee and a servant. To phrase it differently: work/life balance is intentionally worded that way because it is a restriction on expectations by employeers from employees. My personal is not additive to anything work related because I never agreed to that and I am not being compensated for that.
