Balance

Balance is the second principle of Ma'at — the equilibrium of what order has made, kept in proportion over time. In an organization it is sustainability treated as an active practice rather than a perk offered after the work is done.

Balance is sought and sustained rather than achieved once — the ongoing work of keeping effort and rest, and the parts of a life, in proportion so that a system and the people in it can last.
