    Challenge the aspect that a work-life balance is a fantasy. Some days the weight shifts to work, likewise a manager worth their salt can disconnect & trust the team they manage - this needs to happen so (1) your people thrive, and (2) so your mind can rest, recuperate and re-energise... The rest of this seems rather obvious.
