I recently reached Google for the most common online searches for questions related to increasing PEEPPASA (practicality, effectiveness, efficiency, precision, productivity, accuracy, and self-awareness). These are the questions listed as they were written:
What is work/life balance?
Work-life balance refers to an equilibrium state, where one effectively balances work or career demands and those of their personal life. An individual who lacks a work-life balance has more work and home obligations, more stress, works longer hours, lacks personal time, and experiences a less meaningful life
What are six components of worklife balance?
Self-management. Sufficiently managing yourself can be challenging, particularly in getting proper sleep, exercise, nutrition, and emotional fulfillment. It includes impulse control and maintaining a balance between short-term gratification and long-term benefits.
Time management – This includes learning to delegate tasks to others.
Stress management – This helps reduce anxiety, depression, and panic attacks.
Managing change – Life is about change. It takes a certain level of maturity to understand and embrace change.
Managing technology – Smart devices, online platforms, social media, Amazon.com, and more. When used effectively technology can make our lives and the world better.
Managing leisure time – Once you have leisure time, use that time to create a higher quality of life.
Meditation and mindfulness - Knowing where you are and where you are going.
What is a good work/life balance example?
Finding ways to be more collaborative, connecting to people you care about, and contributing to a positive work environment.
My Thoughts on Work-Life Balance
I have observed among many of my students that those who develop a mastery of conserving and leveraging their most accessible resources such as time, space, emotional energy etc., experience less unnecessary struggle than those who do not. Defining your strengths and learning to conserve them and apply them effectively and efficiently is not a simple exercise. This is a constant process that requires the ability to leverage different resources.
Conservation and balance is a discipline that is innate but often repressed or ignored in exchange for short-term gain and immediate gratification. Once an individual is committed to the Wisdom Path this idea of consistent conservation and balance becomes as natural as breathing.
Conserving and balancing is a step-by-step process. Each step requires a distinct awareness. If you are not conscious and have not transcended attachment to short-term gratification, you can take this concept, which is a path to freedom, and turn it into a rigid, mental prison.
The greater your awareness and the less your attachment to old ways of thinking, dogma, and short-term gratification, the less unnecessary struggle you will experience.
It is often said that “anything done in moderation is not destructive” but that, of course, isn’t necessarily so. Moderate self-destructive behavior is nevertheless self-destructive. If you understand the value of conserving resources, you may still have difficulty balancing them, especially if in this process of conservation, you are motivated by pride, vanity, ambition, and a hunger to own more and more, or experience greater and greater pleasure at any cost. Unfortunately, those who delude themselves by acting in destructive ways, even if moderately so, don’t know who they are, where they are, where they are going, where they have been, or the cost they are bound to pay later.
When I think about work-life balance I always think of the ideas of the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. He observed in 1906 that for many phenomena, 20% of invested energy is responsible for 80% of the results. This important statistic reflects the value of conserving and balancing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual resources as a means to reducing struggle, and suffering.
A person in this state of being may push things to the point of excess and then claim he or she is being moderate. Unfortunately, this way of thinking and living, more often than not, leads to an unpleasant end. Understanding conservation and balance is not just a philosophical issue. It is connected to an individual’s ability to survive. It is only the immature, unaware, arrogant, or emotionally unbalanced person that struggles with this concept. In the end, he or she is the first to succumb to a dangerous, toxic or stressful environment.
..Remember…Love and life is a process, not a conclusion.
