Should you choose family over work?

YouTube video (spoken, German) in which the speaker argues against a nebulous "work–life balance" and instead promotes consciously choosing between work and private life. The speaker says family always comes first, aims to be fully present for important family moments, and tries to make those choices without guilt. He states he has been at One New Zealand for six and a half years and has not missed an important moment in his family’s life; as an example he missed a meeting with Elon Musk and a U.S. rocket launch to attend his daughter’s 6th-grade graduation. The piece is framed as a personal perspective on prioritizing family over work and making deliberate presence choices.
