Harmony and balance are necessary to lead a fortunate life. However, in the 21th century where people are so busy, constantly on the run and never have enough time for anything, is it really possible to keep the work-life balance? In my opinion, this ability is rather challenging as hardly anyone can do it.

First of all, people mostly want to care about their family as best as they can. That is why, they strive to get a well-paid job in order to maintain their next of kin. The efficient job usually requires a lot of hours outdoors. Having finished working, no one has willingness for anything but sleeping.

Secondly, if someone has a specific job like a fireman or doctor, availability 24/7 is needed. That means such people always have to be ready to fulfill their tasks, so everything is dependent on their work.

What is more, majority of people suffer from work addiction. We often hear from our friends as follows "Sorry, I have to stay at the office and do some overtime". I assume it happens due to common belief that if we realize our potential at work, we will be happy in our private life.

However, there might be an opportunity to combine domestic life with the professional one. This way out could be houseworking. Not only can you stay at home with your friends and family, but you are also less exhausted after the whole day.

To sum up, I reckon that keeping work-life balance is not realizable. We either have to choose between being elated with our family or friends or achieving successes in our profession. Having defeated our addiction to the technology and stopped being workaholics, our life would become stress-free and without worriment.
