Friends

Today I was able to spend time with friends which is an activity I have neglected. It would seem obvious that I have to actually take time away from work to do so. I think that I have always struggled with life-work balance but lately things have tilted heavily to the work side. Not having a supervisor means that many of my work habits require self regulation. I have promised myself that I will only go in to work to pick up files or print out needed materials this long weekend. If I am successful in doing so it will the first weekend in recent memory that I haven't spent time at work. I am not alone and watching others struggle to maintain life-work balance reinforced this for me. Here's to long weekends and more time with friends.
