There's a guy named Ken Auer who took the life-work integration message to heart. He established a craftsmanship studio in his house. In large part, it was to integrate work, family, personal into one.

This is also why I quit the tech startup rat race and transitioned to my current lifestyle that allows me to work on the projects I am interested in, be around my family, travel when I want to travel, and go in whatever direction I am interested.

Work-life balance has always smelled of a construct created by corporate "personnel" departments to stem the tide of fleeing, burned-out workers.
