I've finally found some semblance of balance.

A tech job that pays the bills that only takes about 50% of my professional time to accomplish. The other 50% of time spent in my brain is spent pursuing my passion of writing and cultivating connection, health, and flow.

And because I'm finally getting old enough to begin to scratch the surface of wisdom - work IN TOTAL - only takes about 50% of my actual time.

I spend 25% of the rest enjoying my family. Intensely I might add - now that there is money in the bank to pay the bills and I'm not freaking stressed out all the time trying to make ends meet.

And the final 25% gets spent on self-care, sleep, and exercise.

Sounds like a boring looking diagram, right? But oh, it's very satisfying.
