Would it be making the time for vacations or gatherings? Or if your job requires overtime, you lose out on the time with your family. Do you ever speak up about it or just let things even out?

I have some non-negotiables like sleep and my commute (~2hrs total). That means I have to compromise between time and activities at work or at home. During the winter months when days were short, I sacrificed fitness and stayed in a pattern of work, eat, sleep, repeat. Very little personal time. Days are lengthening and it's getting warmer, so I plan to focus on my fitness and me again. Life also has seasons, I'm trying to embrace that.
