It has been noted that many people who had a big impact on the world gave themselves completely to their work and did not bother with the idea of “work-life balance”. To what extent should people try to have a good work-life balance? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
A lot of people who significantly impacted the world devoted their whole
time
to their work
and did not pay attention to a recently invented term work-life
balance
. I think that in a modern world it is necessary for everyone to effectively split and manage their time
because it is highly unlikely that without a proper work-life
balance
one will attain high results and become happy.
First
of all, harmony in any sphere of life is essential for staying active and motivated. A jobless person without an engaging challenging job might lose a desire to live as inner energy is not used or wasted on useless activities. Also
, it is often noted that people who involved in a job that may change others' lives are happier and more satisfied. In other words
, without work
, most individuals may feel unsatisfied and depressed. For instance
, some surveys claim that many young volunteers feel happier than their peers because they see positive results and feedback from their work
.
Furthermore
, a good work-life
balance
prevents some hard-working employees from overwork. Overworking may lead to burnout which is an underrated mental disorder. Moreover
, the number of people facing this
issue is constantly rising around the globe. However
, if a person properly organizes his work
and rest hours, this
problem is highly likely to be avoided. For example
, a recent article from Google about the performance of their employees mentioned that workers who passed a specifically designed course about work
and life balance
significantly increased their productivity.
In conclusion, I believe that every person should pay close attention to the time
spent on work
and do not neglect their personal time
. I would recommend reading popular literature about work-life
balance
and integrate the ideas as early as possible.Submitted by Khan on
