I think nowadays people struggle to achieve a good work-life balance. Many people work long hours, often from 8 am to 8 or 9 pm. After that, there's very little time for relaxation, let alone spending quality time with family, friends, or even just for yourself. It's simply not enough. People find it difficult to balance their lives because they often only have time to relax or unwind on weekends, maybe a Saturday and Sunday. I think people have less leisure time now than in the past. In the past, people didn't have the same level of work engagement, and they had more time for leisure activities.
