What’s an area of your life where you manage to maintain a good balance?

1. relationship with my man:) I can’t even call it a balance, it’s a harmony

2. Work life balance. My job in aviation allows me to work as little or as much as I want, take entire months off, and travel the world with first class tickets.

3. My work life balance is fantastic.

   I walk to work, I work, I’m done. If I have to do overtime/work weekends I take the time off on a different day.

   >Has that area always been balanced, or has there been a learning curve?

   I just had to ask for compensation for the overtime in days/time off elsewhere.

4. Pretty much everywhere. How? Be privileged, have access to a decent income, be older with kids who are more self sufficient. Yeah, much of it is not my doing, but the result of the societal system in which I live.

5. My work/life balance is pretty good. I spent the bulk of last year in a position I hated and decided that a demotion and paycut would be better for my mental health, and it absolutely was. All that’s required for me is a willingness to say “NO” and the choice to not check email or work phone before/after work hours.

6. I have a good balance in my relationship-school-basketball area of my life. I keep a strict schedule to the point where I even schedule in my naps. School and basketball have always been things I’ve had to balance but adding a healthy relationship to the mix took some effort on my part and compassion and grace on my girlfriend’s part.

7. Work/home life. Being self-employed we are fully in control of our schedules, the projects we choose, when to travel etc. We love it and it allows for a relaxed lifestyle instead of anything hectic.

8. Sleep! I always kept a decent sleep routine and now lay down at 9pm and awake about half 5.

9. physical health. feels like being active and eating well is the only thing i can control.
