My Day
A juggling act
Striking a balance between my work and home life can be a careful juggling act. It's easy to spend all day at work, go home and then want to log back in and do a few more things. So I just make sure I am very aware of how many hours I'm dedicating to both.
I think you need to approach your home life the same way you do your work life and try to schedule things as much as possible, even if that means scheduling some time to sit out in the yard and read a book. That's what you have to do sometimes just to make sure you have time for you.
Quite often, in the summer, I will take a vacation day in the middle of the week with no plan other than a trip to the beach to read a book
