Fantastic post Dylan. Balance is the key to holding the different aspects of life together. Tip that balance and you have one or even two of those 4 grids suffer. The journey of life is to learn to find that balance, and accept the fact that we can never truly perfect it, as you've rightly said.
This is super insightful dylan - I love the 4 corners analogy. It reminds me a lot of Oliver Burkeman's 3 plates - you can only hold "3 plates" of things in your life at any one time... so sometimes you have to put some plates down for a while. Unless as you say, you can have the good fortune to combine them!

Very true - it certainly is a balancing act. Thanks for your comment Sanuj.

Thanks Zan! I've never heard of the 3 plates but I'll look into it - sounds like a similar concept to the grid or Four Burners Theory.
