It's totally normal to take some time for yourself, don't feel guilty.

I used to run a startup and working late was a usual thing for me. Now everyday I get home I try to disconnect myself from my computer and any work.

Take care, do something you like after work and make sure to do something you love at work :)

Thanks for reading & your reply.

I try to disconnect myself from my computer and any work.
Are you doing things totally disconnected with tech? I suppose :)

For you, what was the sign that told you "yeah, I'm working too much, I have to slow down"?

Not with tech I guess. I still watch TV or play a game (rarely) just to disconnect my mind a little bit :)

I think the turning point for me was my father pointing out to me that I was working like 12 hours/day for a startup and not getting any money, specially to pay my bills.
