Don’t Lie to Yourself, You Do Have Time
Work-life balance is possible but it requires clear communication.

I find myself saying “Sorry, I don’t have time” all too frequently. I say it in response to things I want to do, and to things I don’t. I say it to those I love and to those I’m just acquaintances with.
