Many of us love the work that we do, and it is very rewarding to us. Not just the accolades, but the self-acknowledgement that something was achieved. A goal that we have tried to reach for years. Sit back in that executive chair and have a big smile on your face. It is good to do sometimes.
But is it a habit? Does it happen more than quarterly where you find yourself telling your family and friends that you just can’t make that party, concert, event, dinner date or something that you like to do? You do not have balance in your life.
Are people beginning to not even ask you to things because they know that you have another project at work and it’s important. It’s always important. But are your family and friends not important? What message are you sending.
