RE: What Does “Work/Life Balance” Mean to You?

in #work7 years ago

I try to me loose with it, if I can push, the coffee pot goes on and I go in to the belly of the beast until I've got nothing left, (hopefully returning victorious)

Other days I wake up and I've got nothing, so I take it slow, do some light admin and perifery work and take a long bath and just CHILL...

The key is listening to yourself and taking things day by day.I try to keep client work flexible enough that if I need to take an emergency break I can, usually the long hustle days provide for that :)

That' being said, sometimes I'm the worst boss I've ever had- I should chill way more often really...

Sort:  

So you keep it super flexible? Do you literally decide in the morning what you will work on, based on how you feel that day? Sounds like a pretty relaxed setup, although I might get some anxiety about picking the right/wrong days to hustle if I played it that loose.

Yep, that's what I TRY to do anyway, of course client demand plays a part, so if I've had a particularly tough week, as soon as things settle down I start to take it easy, even if I still feel like I CAN work, I know that if I don't take time out, by the next swell of work I'll be SUPER burnt.

I find anxiety happens regardless so you might as well have a bath or a day watching star trek in sweats now and again ;)
