stop being a workaholic

At the beginning of the year I was hospitalised with depression. My boss was fantastic despite the fact I had two months off work (unheard of!)

When I returned to work, I was given a promotion to a job that was far less stressful than my previous job. I have since partnered up with a life long friend and about to give birth to my first child.

I have been studying full time + working full-time + volunteering on Sundays as a Big Sister + looking after my 3 sisters.

My work week last year was 60+ hours at work during the day, working nights and some weekend. To fit in my family, study and volunteering commitment meant that I had on average 3-4 hours sleep a day. I want to change this as I don’t want to have a car accident from a microsleep, I want to look alive again, have energy and not fall asleep the moment I sit or lie down.

I haven’t taken work home this weekend. Also, managed to hold off getting to work at 7am for many days this week. Even arrived one day after 9am after sleeping in after a too late night.
