I think we're one the right track, more people are setting there limits and more work places are having the right attitudes. With more people setting there limits and talking about it it will become more natural I think.

I did saw friends and family dealing with it after working 7 days a week and multiple "workday" nights. Some people can maintain that workload but I know I can't. I need my two hockey games a week, my gaming time, times to do things in the house, relaxing with my GF, etc.

I think the most important thing is to find the things that are really important for you. If it's programming cool, if it's work cool but if it's sports, music, family, etc. it's fine too and it needs to become THE thing you build around.

Yep, I agree. Very good advice thanks! I think maybe those that can manage high workload can't sustain it for too long? Im very protective of my weekly squash game 😃
