And so when we treat it like a scale and like we have to take deposits and credits on both sides, it doesn't really work. And it's not based on how hard you work. Working hard for something you don't believe in is called stress. Working hard for something you love is called passion. In both cases, you're working hard. Only in one of those does it feel worth it.

Now, there's a difference between recharging your batteries and protecting your health. Like if you've been burning the candle on both ends, yes, you need a vacation. And a vacation means turning off your email, turning off your cell phone, right? Because if you're on email on vacation, you're just telecommuting from a beach. That's not a vacation.

And so absolutely, when we talk about the balance, which is like recharge your batteries. But for me, work-life balance is I feel safe at home. I feel like psychologically safe at home and I feel psychologically safe at work. And so my life feels in balance. I feel like the sacrifices I make on both sides are worth it. And it's never perfect.

There's always going to be some sort of sacrifice somewhere. You can't please everybody all the time. But you're able to manage it and you feel supported at home and you feel supported at work. You feel you're in balance when you can say to your loved ones at home, hey, family. I'm going to take a business trip. I love you all, but I got to do this.

I know I'm going to miss Friday night sushi night, but I love you all and I got to do this. And then at work, you say, hey, listen, my kid is super sick at home. I'm going to work from home today. This is the balancing. And at home, they go, go ahead, mom, dad, have a great business trip. Where at work, they go, totally understand. Go ahead and work from home today.

And you feel supported from the other. I think that's what balance is.

It's not work hard player. Sometimes it gets out of balance. You know, so for example, if somebody works on a Saturday, right? All a leader has to do is say, hey, thank you so much for working on Saturday. Why don't you take a day of the week off so I can give you back that day from your weekend? Back in balance.

Okay. Number one, curiosity, right? I think very often in these circumstances, we leap to judgment. And it's hard because we're all judgmental bastards, right? Every single one of us, even the ones who say I'm not judgmental, I judge them. So we're all a little judgy and we have to work hard. It's a skill, just takes practice to try hard to replace the judgment with curiosity.
