    In today’s world when more and more people are considering that life is harder, more and more people believe that they should work harder to make both ends meet. Sadly, this is at the expense of his family and/or himself. Work-life balance has been the issue of both the employer and employee for quite some time now. Work and life have equally stringent demands resulting to conflicts. These conflicts can either be time-based, strain-based, or behavior-based conflicts. Effective time management can be the key in resolving these conflicts. Both parties can benefit in a time well-spent and properly managed. There may be no exact formula for this due to variation of set of goals and priorities in one’s life and others may say that work-life balance isn’t possible, but the determination to be good in one’s chosen field while still living and enjoying life may work best for everyone.

    Work life balance is the separation between your work life and your personal life. It is the boundary that you create between your profession, career, or business and every other segment that makes up your life. Aside from your career, these segments include your family, personal growth, spirituality, fitness and health, and community and friendships.
