Maybe We All Need a Little Less Balance
This is a very good point. People tend to look for more "balance" when they are unhappy with whatever their main focus is right now. The obvious example applies: people don't like their day jobs very much, and so they go around advocating more "work-life balance" to compensate for it, because they feel it is a necessary evil. It's not (at least in most cases).<p>If you're not happy with whatever your main focus is, you need to change it, not add more stuff to compensate.<p>(Of course, there are still some things that you should pay attention to apart from your main focus, like your health and family. This is not the point here).
