Work is not a bad thing but creating an equilibrium between our that and personal life is crucial to our overall fulfillment and well-being. Burnout is real and trust me, you do not want to experience it often.
The negative effects of poor work-life balance are so alarming – hence the reason this quiz was created. Some statistics to keep you in the know:
- Poor work-life balance has caused a staggering 51% of people to miss important life events.
- Working more than 55 hours a week means you’re 1.66 times more likely to get depression and 1.74 times more likely to have to deal with anxiety (Source).
- Also, a study that was conducted found the following: 48.8% of participants said poor work-life balance damaged family relationships, and 37.8% reported problems with physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
This quiz is meant to help you easily reflect and improve your work-life balance.
