Work, family, leisure - how do you reconcile everything? For some, "work-life balance" is the perfect interplay between work and private life, for others it's a constant battle with time. What does it look like for you? How do you maintain a balance? Have you ever reduced your working hours to be more available for yourself or your family? We look forward to hearing your opinion!

A job provides security, earns money and gives us a sense of accomplishment. But what happens when the job takes over? When hobbies, family or simply time for yourself fade further and further into the background? This shows how important a healthy work-life balance is. Have you already managed to find this balance in your life? Feel free to share your tips with Krone readers in the comments below.

What does work-life balance mean to you?
For some, it's simply the time they have for their family after work. Others need a balance through sport, travel or a creative hobby. And then there are those who consciously reduce their hours in order to have more time for the things in life that are important to them. True to the motto: "Less work, more life!"

Less job, more happiness?
Time and again, people reduce their working hours by working part-time or resolving to work less overtime. But this often requires courage, because working less often also means earning less. And then there are the expectations of colleagues, superiors and society. Have you ever reduced your working hours in order to balance your work-life balance? What experiences have you had with this?

Do you work to live or do you live to work? Is your work-life balance in balance or would you like to change something? Have you perhaps even tried to actively change it? What challenges have you experienced and what tips do you have for others who are looking for the right balance? We look forward to your comments!
