Does work cover your all day, or do you have enough free time for daily stuffs?

I certainly do these days - but it's because I've reached the point of burn out before and never want to be there again. Now, in my current role, I'm fiercely protective of my time, wellbeing and work / life balance because I know that, ultimately, it makes me a better leader and more productive, impactful & valuable asset to the business I work in.

@jade_mack Jade, It is good to hear that you get over burnout and find free time. What is your strategy to ensure well-being and good work/life balance?
Generally I have enough times for daily stuff but sometimes the work takes too much time. I even forget to eat.
@anil_ceylan It makes things harder when you have to skip a meal :(
I try to be intentional about having specific plans to do something about once a week so I can still spend time with friends (been golfing on Saturday mornings until the weather gets too bad). But during the week I am pretty much just working
Yes, but I usually need to schedule the activities in advance otherwise it is hard to spend my free time efficiently since it is separated into short time periods because of work
@umutgunbak Thanks Umut, it is good to hear that you have a effective time management
@dogu_gul1 Time management tools really help :)
Yes. I do have time for myself. I have time to read, swim, travel, watch movies, play badminton. I also meet my friends and hang out. This is my life.
@zajdo_csaba I agree that the joy of life comes from quality time spared for yourself
@zajdo_csaba Please, tell me your secret 😅
I usually have time and can do the activities I want, but the job is always on my mind, and after a while, I become addicted to work. 😕
I think I should switch to hourly planning rather than daily planning and take time for myself 🫠
@arda_finsmart I hope you can free your mind from your job while doing activities 🤜
I have. But sometimes I'm too tired to do things that I'd like to do after work. So yeah, need a better time-management
@oksana_ch True... Sometimes work may be an obstacle for our hobbies when it is too busy
I have, but still I want more hours in single day.
@kajal_morker Haha right 24 hours in a day is not enough
Yes. I do have time for myself.
