Balance isn’t just about time, it’s about energy. Take care of your physical and emotional well-being. Eat nourishing meals, move your body, sleep enough, and make time for joy. Don’t skip these essentials; they’re often the first to go when life gets busy, but they’re the foundation of productivity. Also, beware of energy drainers: gossip, toxic colleagues, and overcommitment. Learn to say no, unplug, and reset. A well-rested, mentally clear you is more effective than an exhausted overachiever.
