You work long hours, but you're given more flexibility in balancing and planning your life. If you work very late one night, for example, you don't have to be at your desk at 9 a.m. the next morning. Aside from getting up very early and going to bed very late, I make a point of carving out time for myself. I live by the adage that you're no good to anybody unless you're good to yourself, and for me, that means I must find time to exercise. I use that time to reflect on what I'm doing and recharge my batteries.
Dinner is our time together.
My husband loves to cook and he's much better at it than I am. While he prepares the meal, we catch up and talk about our days. Even if I get home late, he waits for me so we can sit down together. It's my favorite part of the day. Aside from my marketing background, which taught me how to juggle lots of balls at the same time, just being a woman.
