# Work life integration
Work-life integration is an approach where work is not considered the be-all and end-all of life, but rather a utility.
The idea is not to find [[30 Areas/33 Permanent notes/33.02 Content/Work life balance]], but rather to integrate work in our lives. That is, find ways to adjust our work to the way we decide to live. Instead of putting work front and center, the idea is to instead put our life right in the middle, and adjust work based on our life goals (rather than the other way around).
