Work–life balance is a broad
concept including proper
prioritizing between “work”
(career and ambition) on one
hand and “life” (Health, pleasure,
leisure, family and spiritual
development) on the other.
Related, though broader, terms
include “lifestyle balance” and
“life balance”

The number of people
working 'extreme' unpaid overtime of more
than ten hours a week
increased by 14,000 to
nearly 900,000 last year,
according a new analysis
of official statistics published by the TUC to
mark Work Your Proper
Hours Day (WYPHD).
Work is about a search
for daily meaning as
well as daily bread, for
recognition as well as
cash, for astonishment rather
than torpor, in short,
for a sort of life – rather than a Monday
through Friday sort of
dying…”Studs Terkel
