It hit me this morning, as I woke up at 4:30 am and my first thought of was work, that maybe I need to work harder on having a work-life balance. It's like when I was little on the teeter-totter and the fat kid was on one end and I was the on stuck up in the air. I love my job and want to be passionate about my work but it seems to be all encompassing - I'm checking my work email on the weekend, and Parrish had to hide my phone after I
finally got home after my DC trip so I would quit texting people.
Recognizing that I have a problem is the first step right? Now what? At that I'm totally stumped. And no matter what Parrish says, folding laundry isn't the answer.
The good news is that I have a 3-day weekend coming up and I intend to take advantage of it - I'm trying to unplug for the entire weekend. Not sure how that's going to work out but it'll be interesting to try. No Facebook, no Twitter... I may actually have to call people!
How do you keep work & life balanced?
Yeah it's tough. I usually try to stay off the Internet at night, or at least off of email. That seems to help some.
