Extreme behaviours have somehow become mainstream now, in both personal as well as professional lives. A bit of moderation is now needed towards the right balance. Parenting is also an aspect that is seeing hyper interventions. At the workplace, people use workaholism as a sort of badge of honour. A number of coaching and management training sessions are now bringing the focus to this balance. To begin with, one needs to map out the time spent on each major activity over a period of time. Once this is done, a bit of perspective is needed by looking ahead to the next same number of years. Time has to be allocated to each activity for these upcoming years. The goals and priorities will shift with age. With time, one realises that instead of trying to achieve excellence at anything or everything, a bit of balance leads to a more rewarding life.
