You need to know how you want your life to look like. Work-life balance looks different for everyone. For me, I want to come home to my family every night at a decent time. I want to have a little quality time daily with my husband, go to my son’s every game, wait it out at my daughter’s every dance class practice, help my kids with homework, eat dinner with the family and do bed/bath time routines with the kids. Sometimes I log in to work from 2 till 6 am to stay ahead of my workload if my next day’s schedule is going to be filled with family stuff. When it was time to pursue promotion, I put it in extra grind for a year or two then fall back to a more family friendly schedule. Knowing my priorities and the order in which they should be kept were key to my WLB.
