Balance in your life is a cool thing, still, there is a question where is balance? Is it 1 hour of "decompression" every day? 2 hours? a weekend? what if you're still more effective with ALMOST no decompression at all? How long can you endure?

Where is the point of "balance" for you?

Personally, there is not an specific point of balance for me. Balancing my life and work is something that I keep tweaking constantly, it is highly dependable in the project and my own stress levels towards the project.

In the end, if people at least acknowledge that they are experiencing stress or even a burnout and know that they need to do something about it, they will be ahead of most...

I can't speak for him, but there's no single point for me. I can tell when I've spent a week being 'too productive'. Mainly because the next week will be killer on me. Energy levels will be down, I'll be on edge about everything, etc.

isnt't it all about glucose levels?
