| The strange draw of SANS SERIF CAPS |
As of this month I'm halfway through my Master's program, and I've been thinking a bit more about what comes afterward. People have already started to ask what industries and companies I'm interested in, but those aren't quite the right questions for me. Where I apply myself is important, but so is how I go about it.
I just revisited Lotte Bailyn is Redefining the Rules of Work and Family, which is a worthwhile read. Here's the hook:
Lotte Bailyn hates the phrase work–life balance. “Work–life” implies that the two exist in separate spheres. And “balance” implies that there’s a trade-off to be made.Maybe that sounds too close to "you can have it all," which most people recognize as too idealistic, but I think there's an important point here. The goal shouldn't be to find a satisficing middle ground that gives up a little from here and a little from there. The goal should be to structure your life in a way that's sustainable, enjoyable, and fulfilling.
