In theory, the idea would be that you spend 50 percent of your time on your job or career, and the other 50 percent of your time on your personal pursuits. This might include things like exercise, journaling, or meditating, but it also involves literal work like cooking, cleaning, and running errands. The truth is, however, that few people will ever achieve a real 50/50 balance, and even if they do, it won't be for long.
