In the meantime, I rocked a short Meathead Monday workout at the hotel gym before hitting up LAX.

Oh, and here's my new podcast on morning routines.
Politically Incorrect Post:
Work-Life Balance is a myth for the High Performer.
#truth => There is no Work Life Balance for us.
Balance suggests an equal weighting.
The fact is, there is not an equal weighting between work and non-work in our daily schedule.
There cannot be Balance given the BIG goals you want to accomplish.
Not having "balance" is neither good nor bad. It just is.
"People are disturbed not by a thing, but by their PERCEPTION of a thing." - Epictetus.
Forget balance. And get rid of the stress in your life that comes from not living some other person's definition of balance. What a waste of energy!
Instead, strive for the right Work-Life MIX for your dream life.
Your Empire, and your Perfect Life, whether it includes a $1 billion company, a $500,000 net income, or shutting down work at 3pm every day, is not built on balance.
It does not serve you to waste energy chasing society's opinion of "work life balance".
What is right for others is not right for YOU.
So take the energy wasted on being bothered and put it into growth and constant and never ending improvement.
I like the following quote, and hope you will too. It was a favorite of Marty Edelston, a man who built the Boardroom Inc. publishing empire through hard work and long hours, and who was very happy doing so while also raising a loving family and having an impact on millions of people:
"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
Bottom line:
Make the right decision, right now, for your right life. Always.
