After thinking about that I got to thinking about just how much our personal and professional lives tend to interact with each other. Many people are proud to announce just how much they can keep their two separate lives working and not have them affect each other. Everybody says "I drop my personnel life at the door when I get too work" or "when I get home from work my don't let my work interfer with me home life".
In theory this is easy to do. When you get right down to it they both have an impact on the other. You cannot keep them completely separated and still function on an effective level. In practice of you are having trouble at home you will begin to slip at work as the troubles will distract you.
We as people are built and programmed to be able to multy task, but that is almost exclusively limited to small easily accomplished items. When we are being pulled in two directions by both work and home life's we begin to have problems keeping them apart.
Being busy at work will cause to forget about things you need to do at home. Stressful situations at home will cause a loss of focus at work.
I believe that instead of forcing the two apart we should be using each part of our lives to inform the others. Finding a true Ballance would serve us best.
