Boyle’s Law
There’s no such thing as work life balance. There’s simply life. And you spend part of your life at work.
One way to change the pressure of work is to expand or contract the size of the container that holds it. It’s a trap to embrace a productivity shortcut that isn’t a shortcut at all–simply more time spent.
Boyle’s law helps us realize the same thing about any gas in the physical world. The pressure is related to the volume…
If you’ve found a way to make a living, the challenge in making a life is to find the guts to think about the size of your work container.
That’s not easy.
It comes with trade offs.
We don’t always succeed.
But it’s not called Boyle’s guideline.
