I can somehow relate to this post. There are some things we do coz we love to do and some times do it coz we have to even if we are tired or so. But that's normal, coz we are humans and our strengths are limited. That is why we need a time for ourselves to unwind and relax. And sometimes too, we need to change a lil bit of our daily routine or change something for the better results of what we do.

I have never managed to master this… even to the point of ruining a long term relationship… but then again you do what you do because you believe its the right thing to do at the time. I know that in my current role im expected to work late and take work home but whats the cut off point?

In my experience even if you don’t really enjoy your job like some lucky people, as long as when you get home you can switch off and concentrate on what’s important to you (e.g. family, friends, hobbies), then that is the main thing. Getting home and stressing about work until the following morning? That’s a sign to change jobs!

“Loving what you do for ‘work’ doesn’t automatically make you immune to imbalance”

What is bad is when you don’t love what you do and you have imbalance. Much worse in my opinion. Not that I hate what I do for a living, but I do hate where I have to do it and how I have to do it. Been trying to find a way out for years, but never find that window open, when I am free to jump through it. I, like you, think its important to keep a home, transportation, and other neccesities for my family. I have found nothing so far that would fulfill my life’s authentic calling that would at the same time keep those neccesities afloat.

"But then, isn’t every aspect of life a dance in and around a proverbial sweet spot?"
I totally agree with this. and "I"m dancing as fast as I can" is the modus operandi in my life. I've been working for myself for 37 years. that means that my last job–at someone else's location was when I was 20 yrs old. I am always doing time and energy management, getting things done, responding to customers, taking care of my basic needs (exercise, food, sleep) and trying to remember to schedule some fun/social activities. Mostly however,I am aware that I'm managing my attitude about it all. This week I've decided that I can do no wrong. It feels pretty good so far and I'll see how it goes in terms of productivity and general satisfaction. That's my "work/life balance" right now.
