@Martin – “Mashing work and life together works great only if you love what you do.” You say it well. This may be the most important part of being able to integrate work and life.

@Paul – We just zipped over to your blog and subscribed to your feed!

@Amy – It sounds like you’ve you’ve found what works well for you, which is fantastic! Our point is that there is a growing number of people for whom balance doesn’t work…and integration may be the answer.

Thanks to all of you for sharing your thoughts with us!

I have been working professionally and blogging on the same subject for a little while now so it is great to read a common viewpoint. Work/life balance was an important step but only the notions of work/life integration and work/life fusion provide the right context for the future.
