Generally, not all pretty well-tuned into their work-life merge and stress-busting routines. While there is a routine we should keep going back to, it wasn’t designed over night. It took a while to implement small changes in daily schedule, and also to surrender to the fact that a perfect formula for work-life balance does not exist.
