“Work saves us from three great evils: boredom, vice and need”. I want to start my story with a quote from the series “think like a criminal” that hooked me.

“Work always is and will always be. Real luck is to find the one who makes us happy “.

In fact, work is very important for humans. We spend most of our lives on it, often continuing to think about it and at home. Especially if the work is interesting and captures a person completely.

I am no exception. I have my own business, which I lifted myself. Therefore, for me, work is like a brainchild. I constantly, even at home, continue to ponder issues and look for solutions regarding work. This is accompanied by conversations by phone or communication on the Internet.

If the work interferes …

But at some point, I realized that because of my work, or rather my employment, my family is suffering. I seriously thought about the current situation, after the children were very offended by me. We agreed on the weekend to spend time together, can go somewhere to have fun. Children made plans all week. And on Saturday I had an important meeting. My wife and this time came to my aid. I went with the children.

But when I returned home, the children, despite the fact that were on the attractions and in the water park, did not go out to meet me and were sad. An unpleasant conversation occurred with his wife. No, she did not scold me, but it was clear that it was already difficult for her to explain the reasons for my absence to children. And I realized that in my life, something is wrong. That I can destroy and lose, something very important and necessary in life. A person who loves me and understands me who makes me happy.

Golden mean

I reviewed my attitude to work and tried to change. Honestly, it was not very easy, because not everything does not always depend only on me. Nevertheless, I began to adhere to some rules:

Do not linger at work more than an hour.

Do not make meetings related to work after working hours or on weekends.

We weekends spend only family circles.

More time to give children.

To my great pleasure, I noticed that recently our relationship has changed for the better. We spend evenings together again, I again know the thoughts of a loved one. And I’m glad that I managed to keep it. After all, it is so nice to see happiness in the eyes of a loved one. I must note that things at work are also in order, it didn’t get worse.
