Media extolling people who pour themselves into work does not help. Those are the people many of us ( at least I ) look up to. I am working on my second start

I am working on my second start up. On top of that I freelance for income. There is little time for "life". The problematic part ( or maybe not ) is that I am loving it. It has definitely affected my relationships, I have lost a few friends but I really enjoy work. Maybe it will have a negative effect as I grow older. Maybe I will burnout soon. Time will tell.
- griffordson 10y agoIn my experience, the amount of control you have over the time you spend working is a critical factor. If you can easily adjust your work hours down, at any time, then it isn't as bad. So try to avoid making hard commitments that require lots of work and you'll probably have fewer issues.

- manibatra 10y agoInteresting you say that. I am able to set my own hours most of the time ( I work a lot but by choice). Maybe that is why I have avoided being burned out and work is still fun.
