Key Takeaways:
- Use self-assessment tools to evaluate multiple life categories in order to identify areas that need more focus and balance. Seeing your priorities reflected in numbers can be an eye-opening experience.

- Balance across work, family, health, and personal fulfillment is important for sustainable long-term success and avoiding burnout. While career goals require effort, neglecting other categories takes a toll.

- Small changes like dedicated weekly time with loved ones or limiting after-hours availability can make a big difference in establishing a balanced lifestyle.
