This question aims to assess how effectively you manage your time, how well you manage your stress, and your emotional intelligence. Someone with a strong work/life balance effectively manages their time and priorities. Someone who is off balance might show up to work late or have difficulty managing their emotions. They might have blurred boundaries, be on the phone during work hours trying to sort out personal priorities, or triangulate their coworkers into their drama. That can negatively affect the morale and productivity of the entire team and distract leadership from more pressing priorities to deal with these matters.

"I don't think of my work day as finished until I've gotten home, set out my clothes for the morning, made my lunch for the following day, and programmed my automatic coffee maker. Once I know I've set myself up for success, I'll call it a day. If there are personal priorities that need addressing, I plan for those accordingly as well. I want to ensure I am just as supportive of my teams as my spouse. By thinking in this regard, I am fully equipped for any variables that couldn't be anticipated or planned for. When those things arise, they only contribute to a minor amount of stress that is easily managed. That unanticipated variable can feel extreme if everything is already a chaotic mess and life is stressful. But that is unnecessary and easily avoided. So, I always plan ahead. It's just about having the right outlook and attitude."
