The key is to not over invest in work. Work is not life. Work is something you do to enable you to do the things, that are you life. I enjoy programming. I program for a living. But, I also have riders on my employment contract that allow me to code outside of work, and enjoy that. For others, it will be gaming, sailing, anything. The key is to fill that void that your work identity leaves behind with things that you do and control. In doing so, you take control of your life. I am not perfect here, but because I can balance several different things... none of them control me fully, I control me.
