I used to work 300 hr months for years.

I had one of those, and then decided that if being self-employed was this, I'd rather live under a bridge.

I will never understand purely career oriented personalities. I work so I can enjoy not working, I want to find the most efficient work to not-work ratio and be there.

I have multiple friends that will have a one-ups competition to talk about all the overtime they worked, and I would just chime in with "If I did 14 hours of actual work this week I would be surprised"

That's me now. I'm working 37.5 a week til the cows come home. If I do work OT, I actually get it. Before, I just banked straight time, got rained on, riddled with black fly bites, and chased by bears.

Wee.

I'm this way now. I genuinely enjoy my job, but when I'm off the clock, I'm OFF. My work phone and work laptop both stay in the work backpack until my next shift.
