Balanced Life

Lately I’v been trying to balance my life as I found out that some of my problems were caused by doing too much work. Working 12-18 hours a day doesn’t really pay off, I tested this for a month by reducing my work time (yea, I worked 12-18 hours each day). By working only up to 10 hours a day I was able to be a lot better in many things :

I didn’t make so many mistakes.
I got more great ideas.
I was very motivated.
I didn’t feel sleepy or bored.
Had more time to spent with my family.
And so on..

So, as you can see it really doesn’t make any sense to do loads of work. Of course there are times when you’ll work more but if you balance your time usage most of the time you are able to feel better, perform better, etc.

To start balancing your life you’ll need to think about what kind of problems do you have. As I have mentioned before, you cannot improve / fix anything if you don’t know what is causing it. Example questions for youself :

Do I feel sleepy most of the time?
Am I motivated?
Do I have enough time to spent with my family?

What about your co-workers? Try to get them to balance their life and get excited about their life again. Tell them how it affected your life.

If you think about this it really makes sense : have you ever fought with some problem many days until you fell a sleep and then woke up middle of the night and realized the solution for the problem? Well this is exactly doing that.

At least give it a try, balance your life. I’m not saying this should work for everybody (I don’t know that), but I’m sure that it will work for most of the people.
