Work-Life Balance
Balance is a dynamic act, it’s not something you do once and move on. At any snapshot in time we may appear balanced, or not. It’s the snapshots grouped together that we care about. Work-life balance is averaged over time.
So what** timeframe** are we talking here? Do you want work-life balance in a day? In an hour? In a year? In a lifetime? If you intensely pour yourself into The Thing until it is complete, then take a break for a while and do something completely different. Does it matter whether that is a month or a decade?
If yes, then yes.
Know what it takes to achieve and maintain your definition of work-life balance. Kinda like with Defining Done.
If no, then shut up about work-life balance already, you’ll never have it because it’s obviously not that important to you when compared with The Thing.
That’s okay too. You get to choose.
