The balance between work and personal life is a topic that has been discussed for many years. And it is something that I think about a lot.
When you join to a new job, or when you get fired, it's the biggest change in your life. You have to adjust to a new routine, new people, and a new way of doing things.
But as time goes by, you realize that work can't be the most important thing.
I'm not saying work is not important. Of course it is. But it's not the only thing in life.
Family, friends, health, hobbies, nature, and personal growth (not talking about productivity) are also important.
If you don't find a balance between work and personal life, you will end up burning out.
And other important thing is, job can't define your entire identity. You are more than your job.
Deliver your next project, send that email, go to that meeting, etc. But don't forget to live, and enjoy the little things.
