"Very competent people figure out a perfect work-life balance plan that allows them to deliver enough of themselves to the workplace, enough of themselves to family, and enough of themselves to one or two volunteer organizations. The problem is, this perfect plan creates a kind of fun-free vacuum for the person at its center. Of course, work-life balance involves making trade-offs, and decent people are obliged to deliver on their commitments to home and work. But if you craft a work-life balance plan where you are having no fun, chances are you won’t be able to sustain it." - Jack Welch
