Work-life balance is a myth.

When we accept work-life balance as our driving philosophy, we hold apart two essential elements that are in fact inextricably linked. We falsely assume that harmony means equally dividing our attention. We ignore that it’s a set up for failure.

Work-Life Chemistry is a holistic, focused and sustainable approach to navigating the demands on our time, the opportunities in front of us and the relationships we cherish.

Learn how you can embrace this paradigm shift with this six-week Work-Life Chemistry email course. Enroll now and get started right away.

The concept of Work-Life Chemistry has been developed over seven years by the Poynter Institute’s Kristen Hare. Thousands of journalists and news leaders from around the world have created their own Work-Life Chemistry formulas to stay engaged, make decisions with confidence and find joy. But the curriculum is not just for media folks. It’s for anyone who wants to be more mindful about their decisions regarding work and life, including parents and caregivers, leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, educators, freelancers and others.

“During Work-Life Chemistry, I was able to let go of the preconceived notion that a ‘balance’ existed, which is something I tried to cling to during the worst work periods, and punish myself when I couldn’t meet those expectations. Instead, knowing that everyone has different priorities and expressions of their work time helped elevate what actually works for me.” — Cher Vincent

“For the first time in a while, I remembered I have agency and control over my career and my growth. The work-life chemistry reframe is life-affirming and life-changing.” — Molly Duffy

“Kristen’s work-life chemistry teaching is super resonant. It made me realize how much I need to change.” — Brooks DuBose

Join a community of people dedicated to redefining how we approach work and life. You’ll get inspired by others’ unique formulas, see how formulas are used in the real world, and get special invites to work-life chemistry classes. Sign up with a friend to have a real-world lab partner.

Now what? You’ll learn about ways to use your unique formula to make choices that work better for you. We’ll also discuss using your formula to mitigate burnout.
