First, thank you for your answer. Second: > I have never learnt the art of work-life balance, but now I'm able to amortise it over the course of a year! I took a similar approach and realised that with my attitude towards work I'd need to reduce the contract lengths to a week max, which is obviously impossible, unless I switch careers completely. What I find really hard is to maintain a work-life balance in my _everyday_ life. I don't mind and occasional crunch—in fact to me it's something equally exciting and addictive. I keep switching between being excited, frustrated or depressed (bored). It's something I'm trying to work on and recognise some of its triggers, but keep failing, miserably.
