Work is a huge part of life. Whether you love your work or hate it or, like most people, you’re somewhere in between, it probably takes up more of your waking time than anything else and is a big part of your identity. When someone you’ve just met asks what you do, they don’t mean what do you get up to on weekends.
But it’s still only one part of life, and only one part of who you are. Whether your job is a vocation you’re deeply passionate about or just something you do to pay the bills, letting work take over your life will do you no good at all. Your health, relationships, social life, ambitions, personal development and even your sense of identity can all suffer if you let work dominate your life.
The solution is to make sure you have healthy balance between your work and the rest of your life.
