I was thinking about this a lot and thinking of my first few years right out of college. I didn’t have any balance. I worked all the time, mainly because I just loved it so much. When I wasn’t working I was at home practicing, trying to be the best designer at the firm. Plus side, I got ahead, fast. I simply was putting in way more time. Down side, I gained a bunch of weight and became generally miserable. After 5-6 years of that (I’m pretty stubborn) after a few years at Nike I started to realize I needed to get it together. Got in shape, focused on building my relationships, and just got generally much happier which also helped a lot at work. It took me a long time to figure out the balance thing and I still mess up. Mainly because I just really like working. But now I know that just working leads to bad things, including not being happy with working, so I try my best to keep it in check.
