Work-life balance is highly debated in corporate circles. Many employees complain that working long hours takes a toll on their health and relationships.
With the post-Covid-19 shift to working from home rather than going to the office, less time for personal life and more work has become the norm.
According to Statista’s 2021 survey, about 37 percent of female employees in India said they wanted to leave their current job due to poor work-life balance.

For men, the proportion was slightly lower at 28 percent. But it greatly affects the personal life of the employees. Samsung has made an effort to fix this. Technology giant Samsung has released a computer mouse called ‘Balance Mouse’. The highlight of this mouse is that the mouse automatically stops working after scheduled office hours. This device prevents users from overworking their working hours.
The Korean company’s official YouTube channel posted a video of a computer mouse running off a desk when a user tries to work overtime.
In a video shared by the Korean company, a man tries to work past his designated office hours at 6pm. But after time this mouse stops working. If you try to work beyond it, it will run away from the table.
This creative mouse detects hand movement and works. According to Samsung, if there is hand movement even after working hours, the molten wheels inside it will come out and it will run away. If you try to grab the mouse by force, it detaches itself from the center and runs away.
