When I started looking inward, I stopped trying to “balance” competing boxes and started respecting the various parts of my life working together as a whole. To most on the outside looking in, I have an "imbalanced” life. I work almost every day, Monday to Sunday, part-time. I work at night and even when I’m on vacation. On top of work, I have my full-time job of homeschooling my 2 kids. For me, my routine has never felt more aligned.
