I'm about to grind online and be here all night long today. In fact, I do this every day. Sometimes I can feel the rush of being a workaholic with a slowing down at the same time. It is not cool to be always grinding without any rest in between. Lately, I am reminding myself to be like this. It is not always working but we have also to enjoy our lives.
How do you balance your life?
Do you remind yourself to slow down a bit?

Oh! I am very particular that I need breaks to enjoy life. I take breaks between work and chores to relax or enjoy family life.
. And I am very particular about having family vacation.
We all keep striving for that work-life balance and trust me it's not easy.

@arunima25 I am amazed that you can balance your life between career and family. I do agree with family day. It needs to be done every Sunday.

@Shavkat Well, I have not attained perfection in that balancing act
. I guess we never do. But yes, I keep trying for it.

Nowadays, work is minimal, although I would like more work. My online employees are also having a vacation? 

I balance my life by doing what I want to do as long as I don't harm anyone, to rest when I feel like resting and not forcing myself to work until I'm fatigued.

I try to tell myself that I have slowed down, but even when I am taking a "break" I am still working on something haha

I'm very good at slowing down and taking a rest.
