I often wonder why life can't remain balanced... Sometimes you got to do so many things that you don't even have time to sit back and think about what you have been doing, and sometimes all you have is time, and all you can do is think what you can do. For instance, the last week was like a disaster to me... I was working continously without even letting myself think anything else... taking short lunch breaks, transcribing interviews even at home, working till late in the office, hardly talking to any of my friends and family members, and then getting hyper all the time. Above all, all I dreamt was the work that I was supposed to do the next day.
When finally everything was over yesterday for the next issue, I was more than just happy and relaxed. I also somehow promised myself quietly that I will hardly work overtime from the next month no matter what. I am fully aware that this means more focus and more dedication during the usual work hours, and believe me, I am ready for that. Because it's essential to give time to your family, to your near and dear ones... perhaps I need to think about it seriously... there has to be a life besides office...
I have to limit my work load at office and at home I have to be me - not the poonam I am in office. I wish I can handle my personal and professional life well.

YES! It's true, there should be space for private life too, because without refreshing ourselves we will run out of power and then finally we'll not even be able to work well in the job. One other thing also makes me wonder, some are continuously working overtime, others do nothing for years. Shouldn't the existing work be distributed on more shoulders???
Like I say 24 hours is not enough for me, Life's like this but I agree with you that we need a balanced way, a proper way of doing everything and we need to have time for ourselves, our family and friends. Like in Alchemist I would like to include its one line here, I forgot the actual line..when the boy goes around looking at everything in a palace holding an ounce of oil in spoon..I forgot it..anyways we need to work but we need to have a balance and I agree with u..100%
With best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
