Great perspective. Working hard is important, but so is making time for family, health, and the people who matter most. Life is about finding a balance that allows us to succeed while still enjoying the journey.

I’m the kind of person who always needs to have something to do, but thankfully, I’m not a workaholic. Once I stop working, I keep myself busy with the hobbies I love most.

At the start of my career, I was 1000% a workaholic, to the point where I was so sleep-deprived and getting myself sick all the time. I actually ended up doing a complete 180, moving out of the country to Europe and switching to a more balanced lifestyle altogether. I could not be happier with the change!

Whew, 100 hours a week would be too much for me. I think I’d go insane. Breaks are a must or else you’ll go insane.

Jerry, I agree that compulsive approaches to work or anything are not healthy. I love all of your bullet points and do more than a few of them regularly. And especially, I love the reiminder about gratitude.

I’m a workaholic but not by choice. I work in bulk, so I have long hours. I could definitely stand to slow down, though.

The Cecelia Ahearn quote caught my attention! I’ve read and loved all her books! You have shared some great advice. Even if one must work 100 hours a week at times, you really need to have a very supportive partner/family to survive. Being mindful/deliberate of how we can do good with one hour a week can actually be life changing if we practice it regularly. I’ve got a plan for my hour this week. Thank you!

All great advice most working people should follow. At a training program for petroleum dealers a few years ago we were asked what were our hobbies. About 4 in the group of 18 said they had no hobby. One said his hobby was Work !!
You must add staying away from mobiles and laptops as employers have found a way to keep us working 24×7.
Overall love your blogs. A treat to read each one.
