# Work-Life Integration — Daniel, Engineering Lead, partner + two young kids
Works ~50 hrs/week; commitments: daycare runs, weekend football coaching. **Priorities:** family presence, health, career growth. **Challenge:** work bleeds into family evenings.
## Values & priority check
Rank: family > health > career > social. Current calendar inverts this — the fix is structural, not motivational.
## Weekly time budget (ideal)
| Domain | Hrs/week |
|--------|----------|
| Work (focused) | 45 |
| Family | 30 |
| Sleep | 56 |
| Health/exercise | 5 |
| Personal/learning | 5 |
| Social/rest | flexible |
## Hard boundaries
- Laptop closed by 18:00 on weekdays.
- No Slack on weekends (status set, team informed).
- Daycare pickup is sacred (calendar-blocked, declined meetings).
## Daily rituals
- **Morning:** 15-min plan + coffee before screens.
- **Transition:** 5-min "commute" walk to switch off work-brain.
- **Evening:** phone in a drawer during dinner + bedtime.
## Availability system
Core hours 09:00–16:00 for meetings; deep work 16:00–18:00 protected. "No-guilt" rule: output is measured by shipped outcomes, not hours online.
**Crunch protocol:** if a launch demands more, pre-agree the window with family, then return to baseline — never let temporary become permanent. **Quarterly review:** "Am I living my stated priorities?" **Self-compassion:** good enough beats perfect; a missed ritual is data, not failure.

The way it batches similar tasks cut my context-switching hard.
