Work life balance can sometimes be a dangerously ill-conceived phrase, as can success. I would worry you might not know exactly what you are trying to achieve? What precisely are you worried about sacrificing in order to achieve your goals? Brunch with friends? I mean this as a serious question, why should a person be able to achieve anything without sacrificing something else? I think if you know exactly what priorities you are trying to balance/integrate, the problem becomes concrete, and then much more solvable. If you use nebulous terms it’s a bit like ‘how long is a ball of string’ and often you end up always feeling like you’ve failed to find either balance, or success, no matter what happens in your life.
