Work-life balance doesn't exist (IMHO). "Balance" suggests equal distribution among 2 or more things and real life doesn't play out like that. It's more of an integration. That said, it can help to theme your year.
Example: This is my year of growth. So the things (perhaps 1-3 things) you say "yes" to need to be strongly connected to that theme. Maybe it's your year of cultivating connections. Or your year of self-improvement. Or your year of lean. Whatever your theme is, it has to be meaningful enough for you to say "no" to other things and go all in on your "yes."
You might also theme your days so that you focus is on specific activities during the course of your day. That doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't do anything else. You just give priority focus to your main theme. And leave room for the other parts of your life. Suggest using digital calendar and blocking out timeframes for work and personal priorities.
(this is not a science and will require testing, trial and error to see what works the best for you)
