In this video, I want to talk about an interesting way to look at work life balance, a new perspective
that I learned from Jeff Bezos that he often talks about.
And he doesn't love the term work life balance.
He prefers work life harmony.
What's the difference between work life balance and work life harmony?
He talked about it like this.
Work life balance for him was precisely that balance, making sure both are fine and you're getting
enough of each fine.
But he says harmony is a more interesting approach, because if there is harmony, then success at work
gives you you feel better, it gives you energy, and that transfers over to your personal life.
You get positive feelings and energy that you bring to your personal life.
And when you have a positive developments and good things happening in your personal life, you bring
that over to your work so they make each other better rather than just balancing the two.
Making sure you get enough of each.
What you want is for each to energize the other.
I thought that was very interesting and something I was thinking about as well.
So I just wanted to leave that here as a little bit of just a food for thought.
It's not particularly actionable, but it's something to really think about and really adopt as a maybe
a lifestyle and a goal to maybe it can be a harmony where parts of my life really develop so well that
maybe they can bring energy.
If I apply myself and I really work on those, and I really get them right in a way that they will bring
positive energy to other parts of my life, that's an even better step, I feel, and I agree with Jeff
Bezos on that.
So that's why I wanted to leave this video here just as a little bit of a food for thought.
