It is actually very easy to maintain a good work-life balance: just have stable cycles, working steadily and consistently every day.
It always puzzles me why some people cannot heed to this very simple strategy. They slack off while away from the deadlines and work inhumane hours near the crunch time. And they get burned out, causing the next round of slack off. And the unstable cycle continues.
I work almost exactly the same amount of hours every day, except during travels (when I work a bit less) and bailing out my collaborators who lack enough discipline (when I work a bit more).
My hypothesis is that those people who have this different working style are simply more sensitive to adrenaline :->
# I have the same working style as yours.
