Leisure
Time{{/B}}
There are some people who really do live for their work
and lead totally fulfilled lives with this as their only or main focus. Are you
one of them? If not, are you {{U}}(21) {{/U}} enough attention to your
need for time away from work?
There are two big problems here.
One is finding a job that does not involve excessive hours, a job where you are
still {{U}}(22) {{/U}} seriously even if you don't frequently work late.
The other is deciding how you want to spend your leisure time. If circumstances
are conspiring to squeeze that last bit of precious {{U}}(23) {{/U}}
time out of your week, then {{U}}(24) {{/U}} on to some time, even one
hour a week, as sacred. Build it into your diary and never let anyone
{{U}}(25) {{/U}} you out of it. Even if it means doing an extra hour
earlier in the week, it's worth it.
Another {{U}}(26)
{{/U}} is to try to change the status quo. It is often middle management who
want to see us at our desks 24 hours a day, {{U}}(27) {{/U}} of output,
whereas more objective senior managers may {{U}}(28) {{/U}} that going
home on time is a more productive long-term strategy. Perhaps it's time for us
to {{U}}(29) {{/U}} a stand. Even if, in the short term, we cannot work
fewer hours and so cannot find the leisure time we need, then at least we can
bear it in {{U}}(30) {{/U}} as an aim for the future.
