I recommend making a copy of your save into a new slot so you can come back to this later, or you'll miss some of the exploration.
When climbing up the apartment levels, Pal will tell you about a possible shortcut across a beam. This is NOT the first beam, which you are required to cross to progress.
Take the shortcut and unlock the achievement!
For the beam crossing, note that the walking are balancing parts are scripted at specific points. You don't have to worry about balance when walking, and you can't walk forward whilst balancing.
Note that if you DO drop to the main menu to copy your save before attempting this, the save point will be just after locating Everett's apartment on the map, so you'll have a little bit to replay through.

It's harder to cross the beam then I thought can never maintain the balance long enough to walk over it so annoying

On the second beam, I fell, climbed back up to the starting point, crossed again and the achievement popped.

In chapter 3 Apartment section you will come across your second beam to cross.
If you are collecting wish containers in this playthrough then don't use it now and save this achievement for your 'Follow Control' Playthrough.
This will save time then, cause you are not collecting wish container in that playthough anyway, because Control doesn't want you to linger after finding who Everett is.
you can however copy your save to new slot and get this achievement on that new save. But it just seems extra steps when this beam will save your time in 'Control playthrough'.
2nd Playthrough start at Timestamp : 02:35:10 - 2nd Playthrough [Control]
03:18:35 - "Get busy living or get busy dying" Achievement
This is 100% complete guide to achieve all trophies in game.
