Why do you need to forget about work-life balance and work hard

Former Glavred Layfhakera Thank Baranskii - why do not need to build yourself Europeans, while in completely different realities, and that it is necessary to do to somehow get closer to the way of life of roses dreams.

I find it funny and sad to see what's going on with the people around. The talk that fatigue, overexertion, life balance, and the dream of a weekend that inefficient inexperienced people drew his fantasies.

What input do we have?

1. A weak economy. And everything suggests that the rationality not expect rapid changes.
2. Productive age of mass addiction to alcohol, seat on the ass, lack of daily intellectual load and low emotional state - 20-30 years.
3. Regularly every 4-5 years hits the economic crisis, which nullifies or minimizes accumulation. I have experienced in my 36 is not less than 6-7 crises of varying degrees of severity and did not expect anything else from the next 36 years.

That is, the same opening on the table at any young person 20-30 years of age. The challenge for everyone - slip in the years accumulated a large or a small capital or to create something that will continue to bring money into the "cold days". Because during the lull only thing to do - work hard.

Do not work, do not go to work, namely to work hard as a damn. To numbness in the back, arms, bruising under the eyes and a nervous tic.

It is necessary to apply a super-that when the government decides to once again clean out your accounts, you've been away or the most economically protected.

That people have in their heads?

What talk about? What pop "bearded bunnies" in crafting hipster coffee shops? Having read beauty bloggers and opinion leaders of all breeds, they are talking about:

1. Balance personal and work time

There is no balance. Of CRM-system messages, task-manager in your phone, and you can not ignore it. Because you are addicted to all this stream of consciousness from your Facebook, Instagram and VK. And the employer knows that you're here, what you see and see.

You are always at work, and you just have to accept it.

You can sometimes comes up for a few hours, but about any vacation for two weeks can not be considered. Generally!

During your two-week vacation and the company more nimble colleagues run away as far as to "torment swallow the dust," as "classic". You will simply no longer needed with your tan and balance in the shower.

2. European-style living

Dolbanuli head, or what? For example, in 2016 the GDP per inhabitant of Ukraine (the country of residence of the author. - Approx. Ed.) 8272 was the dollar (139-th place in the world!). In Germany, GDP per capita in 2016 - 41 936 dollars! Unlike five times. This means that you have to work up to five times longer and five times more effective than the same Germans like you to balance your life was like him.

3. Hyugge

When I hear that word, I want to score Berdychiv fireplace log, wrapped in embroidered clothes, the head of the one who looks at the Scandinavian sitting with a jar of jam in his hand and a dog at his feet, and trying it on with the current salary. Hyugge - this is a random result, but not what was built a decade ago in the same Scandinavia.

instead of O

You will have no balance, until you learn to work and earn to achieve this balance. Working day from 10:00 to 16:00 from Friday off, the dog in the forest house, crackling fireplace, sabbatikal and a matinee at 11:00 of the working day, a week-long friends wedding in Santorini are worth a lot of money.

Peace of mind in a employment impossible. It is possible, if you have a sharp business that works better German or American counterpart. Five times more efficient and perfect!

Throw whining and show what they are capable. Bring your "personal GDP" to 41,936 dollars a year, and then dwell in the lodge in the Carpathian Mountains or under Copenhagen, have a rest on Saturday and Sunday, and savor your pensioner with hyugge fellow idlers. Because now you have earned it!

And I add "optimism". Lee Kuan Yew read a book? Well there about the Singapore miracle, a breakthrough and success? And you realize that in a small country with the absolute will of the ruler on the reform, rather than a divorce oligarchic zoo, with a rigid dictatorship and Asian industriousness all it took 40 years from now? Forty! Suppose we have blokcheyn, high-speed neural networks, AI, smartphones and social networks, education, role models, but this way will take much time! And you say "hyugge", "balance", "I'm tired ..."

P. S. Hyugge fine. If you can afford it.
