There used to be a time where work and life were kept separate and they did not overlap. Once you got home at 5pm everything that happened at work was put to the side and you focused on your personal life. But today there’s no longer boundaries between work and life.

I have recently had some people ask me if the hustle culture and mentality gotten out of control, if it should be toned down, or if is it a good thing.

There is also this discussion about work/life integration because we are starting to bring more of our lives with us to work and more of our work home to our lives.
