How to keep your personal and professional lives balanced. How much is my professional life affecting my house? This is what asked myself after having slept one night on the armchair at work. And it was the same question that made me argue with my boss about the fixed hour when I get to live work. Now I have an exact working schedule that I respect the minute if the hours up well, Off I go. There might be some among you who will say, but I can do that I'd be fired if I do.

Well, if you're also asking yourself this question, let us imagine the following scenario. What if you suffered from a heart disease which didn't allow you to work for more than four hours a day? What would you do then? Would you look for excuses to work under eight hours? Or would you consider drastically reducing your schedule? Would you still cling to your big salary?

Or would you negotiate a salary reduction with your boss on the condition that he respects your working hours when your houses are steak or better put, when you're aware that your house is at stake, you'll make the right choice. When you think of your health, you have to know that Prevention is always better than cure. Give up with those extra hours, office quarrels and jobs that over exert you give up on professional situations that flood the other parts of your life. Are you scared of the idea of being jobless? What's the worst that could happen? What else could happen?

Draw clear limits between your job and your personal life. Don't let your professional life ruin your health and invade your free time.
