The secret I’ve found to a wonderful work life balance is to become indispensable in knowledge, but to not do much or any labor; just be a walking encyclopedia for your job role that enables others to do their’s.

For managers who do not yet understand your new work dynamic, make sure to say ‘yes’ , very enthusiastically, to whatever they ask, but then just don’t actually do it. They’ll learn to stop asking, but they can’t afford to lose you either.

Rejoice, you are now an “SME”.
