Work-life balance is a concept that is used so frequently, but it may be quite difficult to describe. In general, the term "work-life balance" describes how much time and effort we allocate to both our personal and professional lives. Because of this, a healthy work-life balance is characterized by fulfilling careers, manageable levels of workplace stress, and time spent doing meaningful and stimulating activities. Campbell, R. (2022).
