Balance

Q: How do you maintain a work-life balance?

A: I don't.

The "balance" is admitting that the work is hard.

The "balance" is acknowledging that you want a life.

The "balance" is recognizing when you're imbalanced and returning to routines, habits, and systems that help you find balance again, even if just for a moment.

The "balance" is meaningfully talking about the need for balance with your colleagues and working together to try to find out what we can do better next time.

The "balance" is trying to find that "balance" and committing to trial and error until you find what you need in the next instant.
