We had the good fortune of connecting with Linda Fisk and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Linda, have there been any changes in how you think about work-life balance?
Many people want to achieve a greater balance between their work life and their personal life. But in practice, it can be difficult to achieve. The unique nature of each of our lives and our fluctuating responsibilities means that work-life balance and work-life integration look different for everyone. It’s a constant negotiation about how—and where—you spend your time. In striving for greater work-life balance, you get to determine your priorities, whether they’re related to your work or personal life.

If work crosses the line between something that brings us great value and joy to something that brings about great stress that begins to harm our health or relationships, we need to seriously evaluate what is causing this stress and how to manage this stress. I have learned to take the time to understand how the various parts of my life are impacting one another. Now, I pause and consider my current work-life situation and ask myself how I feel:

• Am I spending enough quality time doing what I really want?
• Am I committing enough time and energy to people or things that are meaningful to me?
• Do I still feel aligned with my professional or personal goals? Why or why not?
• Where do I feel the most stuck? What is it about this situation that makes me feel that way?

To me, work-life balance is really all about priorities that are right for me —whether that’s spending more time at work to aim for a promotion or cutting back on after-hours emails by establishing boundaries—it’s important to figure out how to better manage my time as a reflection of my priorities.
