Your Strengths Include: Work/Life Balance
summary
Defines work/life as three buckets and uses an interactive balance wheel self‑assessment (mobile page) plus a tiny survey of about five peers to back practical rules: keep set work hours, close the laptop after hours, diversify nonwork activities, and don’t praise after‑hours heroics. Calls out Tim Cook admitting nights/weekends for shipping, warns against glorifying crunch, and gives concrete resources (an “11 ways” hiring checklist, San Francisco gender equity tool, Nate Ebel blog). Memorable line: You are more important than your code.
