Why is work-life balance important?

Why is work-life balance important?

I’m writing this while still sitting at the construction site.

This past month has been very hectic. I’ve been traveling 150–200 km every day along with physical work. Recently, I even stayed at the site for 35 hours straight without a break.

I barely had time for anything other than work.

Most days, I’d just go to my room to sleep and be up again by 7 AM to repeat the same cycle. These kinds of situations don’t happen often, maybe a few times a year but when they do, they are really hectic.

During this time, I couldn’t eat properly or get enough rest. I had constant headaches and was exhausted almost all the time. Mentally and physically, I was completely drained.

It made me realise that work is important, but so is having time to live your life outside of it.

When work is manageable, I get to enjoy evening snacks, talk to family, sleep well, and even play badminton, something I haven’t been able to do for the last 30–40 days.

Finally, things are starting to return to normal. I’m really looking forward to spending some time on myself again.

Thanks.
