spend less time at work

Although I think work is important, and that it’s something which is meant to be part of life (for theology folk, my reading is that Adam was given work to do in the garden even prior to the fall), I do think a balance is important. Right now I’m off-balance.

My work is starving family and personal time, and while I’m well looked after by my employer, this doesn’t entitle them to plunder my whole life (not that they are trying to—the irony is that the only person driving my hours at present is me).

I also think that I’m slipping a bit into the “hours are what matter” line of thinking, where really it’s productive hours that matters, and these two are often vastly different.

So I want to deliberately spend less time at work.
