I know its common on Substack to only post positive comments, but you've completely missed the point here. Work-life balance isn't about doing two or three things badly at the same time, it's being 100% devoted to work when you're at work and 100% to home (or something else) when you're doing that. You're dividing your time, not your energy. By your flawed logic, doing three things for eight hours each adds up to three days. Wanting a decent WLB means not wanting to do your job outside job time. It doesn't mean you can't focus entirely on your job while you're there.
