David Cancel, a five-time tech entrepreneur, describes work-life balance as a wave pattern with natural peaks and troughs rather than a constant equilibrium. He uses cycles like tides and sunrise-sunset as metaphors for how balance restores itself over time.

My version of balance is like, you know, is just this pattern, which is a wave pattern. Things will ebb, things will flow, right? Like, things will. Sun will come up, sun will go down, you know, the tide will come in, tide will go out. And the meaning when. When you're at the height or the bottom of those things, you will be out of balance. One dimension. But over time, nature will make sure that these things become balanced. And so that's how I've always tried to live my life.
