Is it really possible to achieve work-life balance? Well, it may interest you to know that you’re probably already doing it.

There’s a common misconception about work-life balance. Generally, we believe it means attaining an equal balance between both work and personal activities — but in fact it’s much more fluid than that. According to WorkLifeBalance.com, your best individual work-life balance will vary over time, and the right balance for you today will probably be different for you tomorrow.

The key to work-life balance is not about splitting your day between work and lifestyle activities, but about attaining a sense of Achievement and Enjoyment on a daily basis.

As an entrepreneur or independent business owner you may already be ticking both of those boxes. But of course, these accomplishments are much more attainable if you’re in a position to set your own flexible work routine — and even more so if you’re within close proximity to your ideal lifestyle activities. Technology has made it possible for us to work virtually anywhere, and flexible workspaces enable touchdown workers to get the job done in their ideal location — be it near home, near the beach, in the city, or in a far-flung corner of paradise.

With that in mind, these five U.S. coworking spaces don’t just walk the line between work and life — they positively trample all over it. And that’s just fine with us.
