Rhythm
We are all looking in vain for work-life balance. Instead we should be looking for work-life rhythm. Balance assumes work and life are separate and can be weighed on imaginary scales. But work is part of life – and life is dynamic and organic, not stable and mechanical. Nature works in rhythms and so do we as humans. Rhythm is sometimes fast, sometimes slow. It’s tuned into the beat of the moment. Rhythm is flexible. That means it’s ok for life (including work) to be frenetic and tiring sometimes, but at other times it needs to be mellow and rejuvenating.
