I don't like the idea of separating life and work. That notion seems dated and a bit alien to me.
If you find an occupation you love and spend your entire life working at it, is that enough?
The rule of my life is to make business a pleasure, and pleasure my business.
Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.
Make rest a necessity, not an objective. Only rest long enough to gather strength.
How could you not let your life affect your work? That's all it is. Unless you have a very specific, isolated version of what you're doing.
I've had jobs that allow me the flexibility to achieve work-life balance, to be there when one of the kids sinks a jump shot or for the parent-teacher meetings. I can move tasks around. If I don't get something done at the office at 4:30 in the afternoon, I can go back to it at 10:00 in the evening.
I live in a room and I go to work and I play a game called getting through the day while you wait for the night.
I have a holistic need to work and to have huge ties of love in my life. I can't imagine eschewing one for the other.
There needs to be a demarcation between personal and professional lives.
Actually I'm writing as best I can, in order to keep the momentum and the career there, but I want to live.
I may not always be offered work, but I'll always have my family.
Sometimes with people their work is the most important thing to them, and sometimes the work enables you to do other things that are more important to you. I probably am closer to that.
Labour without joy is base. Labour without sorrow is base. Sorrow without labour is base. Joy without labour is base.
Idlers cannot even find time to be idle, or the industrious to be at leisure. We must always be doing or suffering
We've tried to regulate things so that you at least get to go home at night and not have to pull all-nighters and see them on weekends and things. So, you know, like everything in life, it's a balance.
You can have it all, just not all at the same time.
I never bring a role home with me. The moment they say, 'It's a wrap,' it's gone completely. I'm a totally ruthless professional, and life is my family, not my work.
Don't have work-life balance - at least in the sense of trying to escape from work so you can have a life. Work should be fun - so make work enjoyable and satisfying for everyone - among other reasons because it pays off.
I tend to be a bit of a workaholic, but I also can't function without some sort of domesticity as well.
There's no such thing as work-life balance. There are work-life choices, and you make them, and they have consequences.
Whole life have balance. Everything be better. Understand?
I have a very clear separation between my life and my work.
I want to separate my professional life from my personal life. I want to live a normal life and be a normal mother.
There comes a point in your life where you have to accept that you cant work all the time because there are people that need you waiting at home.
