Balancing work life and family life is a real challenge. So, how do you balance it? Very
intentionally. We book tickets to go somewhere on a trip, and once they’re booked you can’t
get out of it. We book a date night every week. We book time around meals to be together.
We’re one of the few families that actually eats at home, probably more meals than we
eat out. You just have to program it in; you have to schedule it in, because it’s important.
If you’re intentional about it you can make it work. Work is a demanding mistress, it
really is a demanding mistress, and the way to get out of that is to recognize you’re
not just the title. You’re not just the CEO. There is life after Goodwill. There’s
life before it and there’s going to be life after it and there’s life during it. Fortunately,
I’m married to someone who helps me with that.
