RE: Work-Life Balance: A Reality Or A Myth? And My Original Poem “The Journey Home”
You touched a very important topic, especially those who work in an office are exposed to this extreme stress and demands to do more and more and more. Although from an older generation I have the behaviour of the 20-30 year old, mixing work and social life throughout the day. I have the luxury I dont have to go to the office, I can work at home when I want. At times it all gets a bit too much for me, I have my tricks to wind down, most of the time in 10 minutes or so. I generally walk a little block, think of very positive things in life, friends, family or whatever and I usually can continue with a much lower stress level. I know it is very hard for most, but although my balance of work/personal life is a bit geared to work, I also know how to maximise social time, I can party hard for instance to let go of all the stress build up! :)
It is a big issue as stress in the office is now showing up as health problems for employees. After I put in the hours in the office, I really look forward to go home and unwind. You are lucky to be able to work from home.
I feel lucky as well, I feel so lucky I could get out of the corporate system and start working for myself. Thanks :)
Is your work internet related?
It was for a long time, IT and Telecoms. It kinda still is internet related but depends on the project I'm working on.
I am looking forward to my retirement in 3 years time. Then I will be able to spend more time at Steemit.
Retirement, super that one is around the corner. I still have quite a bit to go for that to happen :)
