Mosaic as a new metaphor for the idea of work-life balance

The snip explores the concept of work-life balance and offers the idea of a mosaic as a new metaphor. The speaker categorizes tasks into things they have to do, things they want to do, and things other people want them to do, using this categorization to prioritize. They discuss the importance of language in shaping our perspective and suggest using the phrase 'I choose to' to cultivate a sense of agency. The speaker also highlights the significance of metaphors and challenges the traditional idea of work-life balance as a static and sustainable equilibrium. Instead, they propose envisioning life as a mosaic, where different elements take on different shapes and sizes at different times, but are always present and receiving attention. They acknowledge that it can be challenging to appreciate the beauty of the mosaic when overwhelmed, but emphasize the need to step back and see the overall picture.
