The way I see it is so-called "work-life balance" assumes 50% work and 50% life i.e. the balance which I'd say is not desirable to most people. Working 12 hours and then 12 hours for your life which would include eight hours sleep leaving four hours for your life. Of a 24-hour day you (supposedly) sleep eight hours, another eight is your awake non-work life, eight hours is company work so work should be at most 33% of your day and 66% your life. You're the fulcrum move that balance!
