I couldn't agree more, I kinda had to learn it by myself after a burn out a year ago:

I'm now working full time remotely, so a typical perfect & balanced day is:

  • Work from 8:00 ~ 17:00
  • Walk / Running time: 1 hour (Summer only)
  • Piano practice: 1 hour
  • Cleaning & Cooking: 1 hour
  • The remaining time is for laziness, study & chill

Also, I can now get a break in the afternoon, going out for a walk with my dog or getting coffee break.
(Before working remotely, I was losing*two* hours just on traffic. lol)

Hey Mateus, thanks for the reply man. I think you subliminally nailed your own issue in your post without even realizing it.

You wrote, "I love my career, but.." Everything you were facing was an issue with that particular job,not your chosen career!

I'm so glad you took the leap and stepped away from that environment and now can find that personal balance. Great job!
