To answer that question, I’ll gather some points. The first one? Thinking about our biological constitution. We have a single body. Our body has multiple functions, it is true, but even today, we only can be in one place at a time. I believe we should understand life as the sum of moments, with all they involve: feelings, thoughts, people, places, etc. I can be in my work environment, that could be my home, the street, the bakery, the company, the coworking … No matter the location, but the life situation for which we’ll be always dedicating to another person. Ususally, that person is paying for that time of our life. But as we already know, work is not just about that, about being linked with each other on productive and business processes. When we do our work, we are using our intelligence [even if sometimes it doesn’t seem like that] and developing skills that could only be developed in this context. The learning that comes with this, however, can be applied at other times, not just in the workplace, but in games with friends, at a party … any other time.

Unfortunately (or fortunately – I think), we still can’t transform life into lives and separate them, so then, one would dedicate 24 hours a day to growing business or serving the customer and the other 24 hours a day dedicated to life’s pleasures such as travel, being with family or at the cinema for example. We have one life, one body that records all the consequences of every moment we live. Life is not an isolated entity, but a fundamental part of the collective, which acts, by our choices, in defining what is or is not important to our society. With that in mind, it is clear that it isn’t a matter of separating life into pieces, but of understanding that we have decided how to manage moments and time.
