I have to be honest, this week felt like it moved so fast that I didn’t even notice it was already the weekend. Maybe I was too focused on my work that my mind didn’t even have time to think about resting anymore. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe I’m working too hard to the point that I’m getting addicted to it, and if that’s the case, then it’s definitely not a good thing because I might burn out before I even realize it.
Because of this, I need to think of a way to prevent burnout before it gets worse. For me, it’s important to maintain a balance between work and life; otherwise, it will only lead to frustration and exhaustion. If I focus too much on living a relaxed and pleasurable life, I might end up frustrated for not achieving the goals I set for myself. On the other hand, if I focus too much on work, I may accomplish more, but at the cost of truly living, which will eventually lead to burnout.
At the end of the day, balance is not something that just happens—it’s something we must consciously create. Work is important, but so is taking time to rest and enjoy life. When we learn to value both, we protect our energy and avoid unnecessary burnout. It’s not about working less or enjoying less, but about knowing when to pause and when to push forward. That way, we can live a life that is both productive and fulfilling.
