Is Work-Life Balance Becoming Harder in the Digital Age?

[Hazel]

Constant connectivity makes it difficult to disconnect from work. Does technology improve flexibility or increase pressure? Should companies set stricter boundaries for work hours?

yes, work life balance is becoming harder but it is not just because of digitization. It is actually due to high cost of living and low income. People are working more hours, therefore, they are unable to spend quality time with their friends and family

I think it’s becoming harder because digital tools blur boundaries between work and personal life. Constant notifications and expectations to stay available increase stress and burnout. While flexibility helps, maintaining balance now requires more intentional boundaries and discipline.
