I definitely agree that balance over the long haul can have serious implications in the short-term if not being watched closely. Definitely best to be aware when you're doing these "bursts" and make sure you aren't going too far. Thanks Jason!

However, there is a certain level past where you can't work, for instance, even for short periods of time. If you work 16-20 hour days for a week on a project, for instance, I can almost guarantee you're going to not only lose focus, but compromise your health. I think there needs to be a "floor", so to speak. You have to devote a certain amount of time every day to certain tasks that may "distract" you from your stated purpose, but can actually provide better focus. I think your chart illustrates that. There doesn't appear to be a period where you totally neglect your family for self-development, for example. Again, awesome post. Keep 'em coming!
