Stop talking about work life balance.
Instead, practice intentional imbalance.
Taken too literally the concept of work life balance is somewhat of a misnomer…
I came across the concept of intentional imbalance in the book “The 12 Week Year” and it immediately resonated.
At different times in your life you will choose to focus on one area over another.
What matters is that this imbalance is an intentional choice.
For me, my focus has recently shifted more towards time with my newborn.
This has inevitably taken time and energy away from other things including work. But that’s ok, because it’s intentional.
For you this may be an increased focus on your health, or your job or your relationship.
Whatever is important to you right now, you decide your imbalance.
Reevaluate often (every 12 weeks works well) to ensure your imbalance is still intentional.
What’s your focus for the next 12 weeks?
