Everybody talks about how to establish that work-life balance. But the phrase work-life balance is misleading.

A better phrase is work-life harmony. When you feel energised and happy at work, feeling you're adding value, it makes you better at home. Likewise, if you're happy at home, it makes you a better employee or a better boss. 

It's not about the number of hours in the week. It's about if you have energy. 

Is your work depriving you of energy or generating energy for you? Similarly, are you adding energy to your work or draining your coworkers of energy? You have to decide if you're going to add energy. The same at home. So it's a cycle, not a balance.
