Everyone's always talking about "work-life balance" like it's some perfect 50/50 split you achieve and then maintain forever. What if it's more like a pendulum? Some weeks it's 80/20 work, some it's 20/80 life, and the "balance" is just the average over time. Trying to keep it perfectly still feels like a recipe for burnout, not harmony.
