    The Balance Myth, the Blend Reality
    2025/09/11
    Miles traces how "work-life balance" became a cultural obsession and why it often fails in practice. He explores the shift from industrial-era time clocks to always-on digital life, showing how the balance metaphor ignores care work, commute stress, and the natural seasonality of careers. The episode reframes the goal as dynamic work-life blend—integrating time, energy, and attention in flexible rhythms that protect essential resources while allowing ambition to breathe. Listeners learn to design sustainable patterns around their actual constraints rather than chasing impossible fifty-fifty splits.
