What is Work/Life Blend?

​Yesterday I posted about work life/harmony vs. work/life balance. I’ve got another term for you today.

 
I regularly get together with professionals on Clubhouse where we discuss leadership, personal growth, mindset, and the evolving nature of work in Western society.
 
During a recent conversation, an executive coach dropped the phrase WORK/LIFE BLEND. My mind did a backflip before landing in Savasana.  
 
I had never heard the expression ‘work/life blend’ before and I love it.
 
For me, blend is synonymous with harmony. When you blend, you mix and combine certain things together in different proportions, volumes, tastes, flavors…figuratively as well as literally. When you harmonize, you produce a satisfying combination of factors.
 
Practically, this looks like not checking work emails during my designated personal/me/sacred self-care time.

It looks like knowing when my peak mental-output hours are during the workday and declining social calls during that time.

It looks like making sure I do my physical workout every morning before I engage in deep conversation with anyone.

It looks like playing with my furbaby and going on walks during my breaks when I work from home.

Last week, it looked like going on a new adventure by taking a half day off to go to the horse racing track with friends.

Recently, it looked like consciously choosing to put in 2 hours of arts education lesson planning (for my parallel career) on a Sunday so that I could have a non-existent workload on Monday.  
 
I don’t balance my social life, romantic life, work life, physical well-being, etc. to the same degree. I do consciously choose and design everything I do though.
 
(This post might make more sense if you go back and read yesterday's post.)
 
Happy Blending!
