How do you manage your life balance?

This has been something that has been heavy on my mind since I worked in consulting. People would say "I work 60 hours a week" which I couldn't believe is true, nor did I think showed ability. I came to understand a lot of work places reward sacrifice not achievement.
I started to track the hours I worked in a spreadsheet and it really helped me to be tight with my time, and defend it. I had accountability to myself.
I then extended this to track everything in my day - sleep, hobbies, admin, work.
I now have a balance I am comfortable with because of this accountability and oversight.

I don't think there's something like work life balance when you are doing what you truly love. It's about passion and dedication - I don't feel tired when I am *in the zone*.
Things I am controlling involve what I am eating and sleep time - when your body feels good then you feel much better mentally!

I track my time too, but only work hours :) Thanks to TMetric (my time keeping app) I always know how much time I have to work a day and once I reach that number I'm off from the laptop to relax and enjoy my life outside working hours.
