Sticking to UI/UX trends is a losing strategy

<p>I think I’ve read over five hundred articles on how to find balance in life, as well as over 30 books on that topic. You can find them via respective links. But here is what I learned through experience and that no book ever taught me.</p>
<h4>1. Balance is 7/10 work, 1/10 personal life, 1/10 social life and 1/10 family.</h4>
<p>That seems dreadful to most, but if you look at it objectively, this is how 99% of the global society lives. We sleep, we spend some time on personal matters, some time on family, and most of the time at work.</p>
<p>My example would be:</p>
<p>a) I work between 8–12 hours a day, sometimes it goes over 20<br />b) I make some time to make facetime or WhatsApp with my family members because we are all scattered around the globe<br />c) I make some time in the morning, afternoon and evening/night for myself and the dating.</p>
<p>Probably most of your schedules look like this, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is not supposed to be equal parts unless you make it a priority for yourself.</p>
<h4>2. Balance is the question of priorities.</h4>
<p>What are your priorities? Is it family? Is it your spouse? Is it your friends and social activities? Is it your education?</p>
<p>There is no right answer, it all depends on you and only you. Nobody has the right to dictate how it should be. You’re solely responsible for your happiness and therefore all suggestions, especially unwanted ones, are irrelevant.</p>
<h4>3. Balance is what makes you happy…</h4>
<p>What is happy? The eternal question, right?…<br />Well happy for me is being on the way towards my goals and overcome known obstacles.</p>
<p>What do I mean by known obstacles? Well, merely the obstacles I am aware of when I set a goal. Let’s say I want to buy a car in 3 months, and this means that I need to put some more money aside, that I need to make. So that would mean a shift towards work more rather than other items on my list. And this is fine because this is my choice.</p>
<h3>How do you define balance? How do you juggle it all?</h3>
