Burning the candle at both ends

In an effort to have more of a work-life balance recently, my husband and I set some boundaries. We would only work 8-5.30pm, have weekends off and go out with friends more for socialising.

So, a heavy weekend and 5 late nights socialising with friends later, I've decided that burning the candle at both ends probably isn't the best thing to do in the world. It's all very well having a life, but there's the thing about the balance that I seem to be missing.

I've decided that waking up with a headache and not feeling your best is definitely not the way to a great working day and neither is all work and no play.

How do we get that balance then?

Well, it's certainly not about going from one extreme to the other. Maybe it's about both work and life in moderation. I'll be practising the balancing in the future then.
