Finding Balance in a Fast World
Balance is not a state you reach. It is a correction you keep making.

Nobody has work-life balance. What people have is a sense of when things have tipped too far and a willingness to do something about it before the tipping becomes a fall.
The useful tools are small and boring: a hard stop on the working day, a morning that belongs to you before it belongs to anyone else, and one person who will tell you when you have started to disappear.
The point is not to reach equilibrium and stay there. It is to notice, early and often, and to correct. Balance is a verb.
