Any imbalance, the other two significantly suffer, you cannot cheat that system
This REALLY resonated with me and I thought long and hard about it. I knew I couldn't continue with the crazy working hours and that my relationship with my new son would eventually suffer.

I requested a change in working hours with my employer which was rejected so I started to look elsewhere. Very quickly, my perfect job fell in to my lap.

It was the best decision I've ever made and wish I'd done it years ago! My little boy has just turned 10 months old so I feel that I've done it just at the right time.

I've seen more of him in these last 6 weeks than in the previous 6 months!!!

Now.... For some pen talk
