How to Successfully Walk the Work/Life Tightrope Without a Net

Connection with family members will take priority over drinks with your old roommate. Sleep, a physical need, may have more value than a late night trip to the grocery (which is definitely work no matter how many food samples you find).

Set family priorities with your spouse. Single? Be honest with yourself. Commit it to paper, and find ways to maximize elements topping the list.

On the other hand, if the schedule is light, teach teamwork and get dirty as a family.
