I agree with hambone, but I'd also point out that *sometimes* it's ok to 'overbalance' on one thing *for a temporary and well-defined period of time*. Crunch time for a project at work, the weeks before final exams at school, etc. If you have a strong, open relationship your partner (and friends) will understand that you have to prioritize this other thing over them for awhile.
Of course, if you *always* prioritize other things over the people in your life, you will die miserable and alone. So don't do that. ;-)
