“ But to my thinking there is an inherent fallacy in affirming that “life” and “work” are mutually exclusive spheres. The truth is, when you are “in your zone”—when time has disappeared and you’re simply “on” with whatever you’re doing—there is no distinction in your psyche at that moment between “work” and “personal.” It is equally possible to be in a positive, productive state when you are writing a proposal as it is playing with your dog. Nor is there any sense of overwhelm or lingering doubt about what you’re doing. The concept of “balance” is irrelevant. You’re usually only aware of balance when you don’t have it.
