Work hard when you're young, it becomes harder every year. I'm in my late 20s and the amount of free time I have to work compared to my early 20s is drastically different. Work/life balance should be something you assess constantly as your life evolves imo.

I think about this a lot tbh. Feel like balance (for me now) is less about maintaining a constant even split - being great at anything generally requires tipping the scales a bit 🙃 - but being aware of how hard I’m leaning one way & for how long so I can recalibrate eventually.

If you take outside money you have a moral obligation to orient your life around the business. This becomes exponentially more true when you have employees and customers counting on you That being said, Tom Brady isn’t still here winning rings by sprinting 24/7/365

I’ve learned work/life balance is not a set thing you can master and control, prioritize what matters to you and keep that top of mind when deciding where to spend your time, the rest of the time just ride the wave

when I feel like work/life balance is getting out of whack, I usually try to do less overall, rather than redirecting time from one to another. i use that time to plan and organize
