I think self actualization is too hard if you mixed it with your primary livelihood. A few rare ones can do it within their jobs, maybe doctors, scientists, inventors. And even they find it compromising to do after a while. For the majority of us, it means something else besides our job. That is the whole point, to have a balanced life you need to allow time for it. If you say you have no time because all your time is spent on work, then basically, that is not self actualization. The examples are endless, like active contributions to any cause that you feel passionate about, helping community etc. Basically anything that you can do freely to develop the ability or potential within you. Hope it helps
