Work-Life Balance
Is WORK important?
Work-life
balance is the
state of
equilibrium
where a
person
equally
prioritizes the
demands of
one's career
and the
demands of
one's
personal life.
A healthy balance might
look like:
 meeting your
deadlines at work
while still having time
for friends and hobbies
 having enough time to
sleep properly and eat
well
 not worrying about
work when you’re at
home
And on the seventh day God ended his work
which he had made; and he rested on the
seventh day from all his work which he had
made.

Genesis 2:2, King James Bible
