Thanks to the Dual Messenger feature on my Samsung Galaxy Note9, I can have two active Facebook Messenger accounts at the same time. Unless you are willing to be constantly logging in and out, you are also limited to being active on one account at a time. The challenge is that on your typical smartphone, you are limited to installing a single instance of your messenger app. Learn five smart tricks you can do with the S Pen in this infographic.
While some people are very happy to have a combined social presence, I’ve always preferred to keep them separate. For services like Facebook Messenger, I have my work account and a second account for personal contacts. A perfect example of this is social messenger services. However, the challenge of using one mobile phone is that mobile apps don’t support multiple personas at the same time. But like that shampoo ad from my childhood, “Why take two devices … I can take just one.” (Not sure if that ad played this side of the pond, so bonus points if you get the reference.) When figuring out how to manage work and personal life, one solution I see people try is to have two devices - one for work, the other for personal use. And I need a mobile phone that helps me achieve that. So I live a double life - with “work me” and “personal me” both on 24 hours a day. What I need is to be able to seamlessly switch between “work me” and “personal me” with minimal effort and at any time of the day.
Work-life balance is no more what makes more sense is how to manage work-life integration. Like many people, I’ve stopped looking at each 24-hour block as being split between a working day and a non-working day - a seesaw that I’ll never manage to keep balanced. By day, I’m a mild-mannered marketing executive and by night … OK, not that kind of double life!
