  • Working 40 hours can be tough. I think it is about a finding a setup that can work for you. Here’s how I set it up to work for me (I work more than 40, so some of this is just so I don’t die). Maybe there’s something in there you can try out.

    • I work with family so I can double up work/family time
    • I work from home so I don’t have to commute and I can pause to see my kids off to/come home from school
    • My husband does not work so I see him throughout the day and he takes care of household chores
    • I let my kids play in my office when I’m working (even on conference calls)
    • I like my job and coworkers
    • I take naps on the weekend
    • I have given up on hobbies outside of what my kids like
    • I get up at 4am and start work most days by 5am to ensure I have evenings with my family




  • I think Eleanor Shellstrop captured it best:

    Yeah, in America everyone DOES whatever they want, society DID break down, it’s terrible, and it’s great! You only look out for number one, scream at whoever disagrees with you, there are no bees because they all died, and if you need surgery you just beg for money on the Internet! It’s the perfect system!"
