Work–life balance is a concept including proper prioritizing between "work“ (career and ambition) and "lifestyle" (health, pleasure, leisure, family and spiritual development/meditation.
“Work life balance is about the challenges that face individuals when they are trying to hold paid work and home in domestic life in balance. “

Work-life balance is about being able to maintain a balance between work and personal responsibilities on all fronts:
Work and family
Work and personal fulfillment
Work and social and community responsibility
“Work-life balance" was coined to address the unhealthy life choices that many people were making; they were choosing to neglect other important areas of their lives such as family, friends, and hobbies in favor of work-related chores and goals

Can women be both ‘givers of care ‘and ‘ hold careers’?
Often, working women drop out of the work force when they are doing well, simply because they wanted to stay at home with their children, or care for an ageing parent.
Work Life Balance for Women Employees
And then there are women who have children later in life because they want to work for reasons of personal satisfaction or for the money.
So, can a woman have it ALL?

Balance is elusive and difficult to maintain.
Compromises are constantly made, with the scales of balance shifting along with the occasional long workday or work assignment, family obligations, or any one of a number of life’s little surprises.
Or is it a seesaw

Workaholics = greedy and selfish people . heart attack .
People die of boredom, psychological conflict and disease. Not hard work.
Is your work meaningful?
work "overload" usually measured without measuring your beliefs and
emotions about work.
Overworking is ONLY possible if you are not having fun at work.
Any amount of work will be dull if you are not engaged .
Time to redefine the work-life balance or at least stop thinking about it.
Why should you embrace Work-Life Imbalance

Hard Work -Your Most Important Career Weapon
Smart, qualified. Then hard work is only differentiator. Workaholics usually have higher social status in every society.
ALL achievement in civilization (from art to science to sport) is result of people who worked a lot harder than others. Also , totally unconcerned about maintaining work-life balance.
Exceptional achievers live longer, and they pretty much work until their death.
10 most workaholic nations in the world account for most of the world's GDP.

Engagement : Do what you love and you will love what you do.
Little bit of meaningless work is a lot worse for you than a great deal of meaningful work.
Work is like a relationship: Spending a week on a job you hate is as bad as spending a week with a person you don't like. But when you find the right job, or the right person, no amount of time is enough.
Between the Bright and Dark Side of Workaholism is ‘engagement’.
Motivation – Inspiration- Engagement

Think about your job as a career .
A career provides a higher sense of purpose.
In a job you count number of hours.
Career isn't a 9-5 endeavor.
Dead before retirement ?
Work life tension/fusion
