  2. Determine Your Priorities
  3. Delegate effectively
  4. Schedule Scrupulously
  5. Establish Boundaries
  6. Take Care of your health & exercise
  7. Bake in time for pause, rest and reflection
  8. Nurture family relationships and don’t compromise family time
  9. Don’t wait to ask for help
  10. Introduce family to work friends

Bottom line: if your team, business and company doesn’t encourage a balanced culture, it will be hard to attain that for self but can still be implemented within your team.
