"The problem isn't you. It's the myth of work-life balance itself... Life is a constantly shifting dance of priorities" - Psychology Today
This myth is particularly harmful in industries like agriculture, where the line between work and life is often blurred.
- The "balance" narrative implies that work and life are separate entities that can be clocked in and out of.
- In reality, life is a complex and constantly shifting dance of priorities.
- In farming, the home and business often share the same space, making it impossible to truly "clock off" from work.
This myth can lead to disappointment and dissatisfaction, especially in industries where the boundaries between work and life are not clearly defined.
