Question

How do you manage your work/life balance?

Answer 1

i accept that i might be able to have it all, but i can't have it all ALL the time. when work is a priority, i give it all i can-when home or family issues are pressing, i give extra there, which may mean less sleep, and little personal life. The house is not always clean (never spotless), my closets are messy and my roots need done most of the time.

but i refuse to run in high gear perpetually-i don't feel guilty for the occasional day called off to clean the house, shop or watch AMC on the couch. i don't strive to be the next corp VP AND Martha Stewart AND supermom at the same time, but some parts of each at different times, as needed.

I guess it's balancing priorities and flexibility. f it starts getting to you, take a break and if it's bigger than that, time to look for a new job.
