How do you find the right balance? I’m struggling to find that sweet spot where I feel like I’m achieving enough at work but also not burning out. Any ideas would be very welcome, thanks

Constantly checking in with myself. What is the sweet spot for me in a couple months can completely change the next! What do I want to accomplish right now and how does that impact my long term. Also watching for the burnout signs, being more tired and having a really hard time focusing.

I think we just have to remember that everything is an experiment and there's something to be said for just being attentive and seeing how things go. I've overextended myself at times and didn't realize it at first. That taught me a good lesson, pay attention to your time and to your body and how your general attitude is holding up. If you feel like you're losing control, you are. That's when it's time to make adjustments.

If anyone knows the answer to this, I would love to hear it. I always assumed that climbing the ladder and being a successful meant a lot of stress and burnout until I had a certain level which in theory I was OK with but in practice, it’s pretty miserable.
