    Have you ever looked up from your laptop and realized your whole day disappeared into the business, while the people and things you love got whatever scraps were left? That quiet, sinking feeling is a signal.  It means you might be building your life around your business, instead of choosing to design your business around your real life. We have both lived in that tension more times than we can count, and we want to walk you through a better way. Put The Big Rocks In First You have probably seen the object lesson before.
