If by balance my checkbook, you mean manically manage my accounts online, then yes.

I keep a finance spreadsheet that includes a running recon of my current bank balance and any outstanding transfers or payments that have not cleared.

Overdrafting your checking account is trashy dude.

I don't go through line by line and confirm when I pay a card bill

I just play the "looks about right" game and make sure nothing stands out

Na I hired John Kasich to balance mine. Did you know that he helped Ronald Reagan balance the budget?

No, but I try to check my credit card transactions for accuracy after they're processed, especially from restaurants

I stopped about 18 months ago. I used to do it monthly. I just look at online account. Charges/debits appear instantly and I very rarely write a check.

No, but I do look at my accounts through the app pretty much daily. So while I don't balance my checkbook, I do review charges and manage my accounts.
