The Myth Of Work-Life Balance

We are too flawed to manage our own schedule, predictably irrational and consistently bad at making good decisions.

There are three reasons why we behave this way:

1. Present Bias
2. The Planning Fallacy
3. Social Norms.

In our pursuit of balancing our personal life and work, we often feel guilty about working past the Monday to Friday routine, but technology and Work From Home policies have made it more prevalent. Many studies show that knowledge workers who are provided flexible schedules are more productive simply because they work more hours.
