So yaa, how do you like balance work-life-balance and interests. I’m considering a job or however to put it that is known for awful work-life-balance, but is also incredibly interesting, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it😩
Like I do want to get married and have a family and such at some point, but that is in no way guaranteed, especially not considering my circumstances, meanwhile focusing on career seems more safe I suppose😵💫
I’m still dealing with the consequences of burnout almost 5 years later, so yeah, I go heavily on the “life” side of work-life balance now.
Burnout can have serious, long-lasting mental and physical health effects. Killing myself for most of my 20s in the name of “getting experience” and “making money” was definitely not worth it, especially because now I don’t know how to work without falling into unhealthy patterns.
I definitely fear this. I’m probably pushing 60+ hours right now between studying, work, extracurriculars, etc.😵💫
How did you know you were burned out, or approaching burnout?
