The feeling that we've peaked with less to look forward too

[Bassmansam]

Personal goals that transcend relaxing on a beach and even to a large extent, being with family. My work is incredibly stressful and I spend in excess of 60hrs+ a week on a good week, but I love what I do because I am building things bigger than I could on my own and I take pride in them.

It is the reason why the "morning routine" thread is so sad to see how many people wake up and endure their 40hrs.

Unfortunately a consequence is that you then spend your down time 'tired' and often don't invest as much energy into it as you do the thing you really love. You see that all the time. People waking up at 7am on a work day and putting the effort in to be on time, but when it comes to personal life, sleep becomes the priorty and lieing in. Invest just as much time in your personal life as your private life and you're onto a winner.

I always remember something my last manager said about he spends holiday time “sleeping”. He seemed quite genuine as well which i find totally bizarre, any more than 7 hours and i feel groggy for most of the day.

I say that quite often when I have time off as well. What I tend to mean is that I'm not doing anything in particular and will sleep as much as I feel like and do whatever I want the rest of the time, rather than that I'm actually going to sleep ridiculous amounts.

Good look to you 60 hours plus a week guys,, i would rather be walking and surfing, did the camino in 2019 (31 day pyranees and across spain) probebly do another route next time,
Thing is you have to work smarter not harder or lomger that's where your going wrong

Thing is my work isn't a "job", it is something I love to do and defines a lot about me. I don't work for the "man", I work for "a man" (actually several women) and she lets me do as I please as long as I believe in it and can get momentum with others believing in it too.

Surfing and walking sound fun but aren't my tipple Travelling the world on someone elses dime whilst enjoying lifes finest are one of the perks (pre Covid )

We are all different I guess my hobbys keep me relatively fit and keep my mental health better than it could be , trying more DIY stuff and considering building a summrr house, definitely not a sit in and watch netflix guy, but love storm watching and generally getting close to nature, wise housing purchases have done the trick for me as I am definitely not a high flyer in the job market time over money
