Self-employed with family; I work 9-5 & 10-2 daily 5x/wk. If the hours are billable that's great, if there's a lull I'm pushing just as hard, fitting in proposals and origination to fill in the gap. Balance isn't a destination, it's a frequent conversation with the spouse in the face of changes in her workload, family needs (kids, elders), etc. Objectively I should sleep and exercise more, but those are the easiest to compromise. Basically hoping to get to retirement without a major health event.
