Live to work or work to live

There is a simple rule that don’t instantly reply who email you at weekend for working issues unless it is an emergency. Leave it to the weekday, otherwise you will feel to be forced to work. Work is part of your life not all of your life. Family time and some personal hobbies in a cozy weekend can definitely lift up your spirit for the next week.

Goals for work can include salary increase, the professional skills in technical and behavioral improvement. Goals for life could be the efforts to manage love, marriage, family, and cost of living. When those goal are not clear for the current, the best way is to stop overthinking. Focus on the things on hand and do whatever you can to make today better by improving your career skills or boosting family relationship, don’t get overwhelmed by the past or future. Usually, the initial motivation can easily run into the worries of loss and gain. However, once you started, even though it doesn’t go as planned, no harm done, at least you tried and kept things going.
