After reading I realized the systems I already have in place to free mental space: Automated investments, and clarity of the knowledge base (e.g. having my to-read list to come back to this post)...

Regarding work-life balance, I think it's interesting to have a temporary "strategic imbalance" to push in one area.

For example, I had to read and investigate automated investing before I started. I ignored other areas of life to push in that direction. But now I am reaping the time benefits of the efforts I made.

There are so many nuggets of wisdoms in this post that I am actually taking notes. And I loved that you have showcased how you manage using personal anecdotes.

I am going to implement some of them in my life to start with and I am sure I'll come out better on the other side!

+1 on the writing part. Not just it helps in thinking deeply but it also helps in relaxing. Sometimes it's like meditation for me. Eg Writing about a stressful situation in life/work relieves me from tension.

Great article Gourav. I especially connected with the outsourcing part - build a workforce that will allow you to focus on the important part - the family and work!

Well said, Gourav! Family is the most important part of my life. I find planning things around family always makes things better for me.
