Yes, even smart people make work-life balance mistakes.
I like to think that I’m a smart person. And yes, even though I support people on how to have more balance in their lives, I too need to adjust from time to time.
My balance right now isn’t as great as I’d like it to be. I’ve had a couple of busy months. My inner critic sees this as a failure.
But the rest of me knows the reality: work-life balance is an ongoing adjustment. Guess what, inner critic? I’m human!
