Technology consultant Wesley Higbee advises having a plan to make sure you’re getting a good work-life mix.
“The problem is we often obsess over one and not the other,” Higbee says. “Neglect leads to regret.

And there’s nothing wrong with prioritizing one more than the other, just be intentional.”
