I've stopped talking about "Work-life balance" and started speaking almost exclusively to my employees and peers in terms of "sustainability." I've found that work-life balance carries negative connotations and speaks to an end, not a means. I'm glad to see the terminology shared elsewhere. Completely agree with this article; especially on the point about a small-startup being unable to "out-work" a larger company.

Sustainability sounds better to me personally. I think we all have our own tolerance levels when it comes to how many hours we can dedicate to "work" vs. "life" and still be happy. That term seems a bit more appropriate than the common "work/life balance".
