You may have heard of the origin story of FedEx: Fred Smith, while in Yale, wrote a paper for an economics class outlining an overnight delivery service. His professor was unimpressed and gave him a "C".

@nateliason 1. Balancing relationships is not just about what explicitly someone does for you (and vice versa), but also the mental energy of maintaining that relationship.
Stuff like organizing, planning, etc IS a critical component but is often ignored or not considered.
