Work a job with at least some WFH days. It's been great for my marriage
Tell her to enjoy the benefits of your success.
But seriously, one dinner date where your phone is down makes all the difference.
I broke up with her and married my job
Gggggggyppo
Set boundaries with when you log off everyday and set aside specific time for your personal life. Manage your time better during working hours so you don’t have to work as much.
How hold are you? If you are in your 20’s, get a new girlfriend. If you are in your 30’s and thinking marriage, get a new job.
20’s yeah def get a new gf or even better don’t commit stay single till you get somewhere decent in your career.
My bf is a workaholic, so we discussed and agreed that he doesn't check/answer work emails after hours. Unless you're on the cusp of curing cancer, that email can wait until morning.
Sounds like you need a better job MD1. Or you're just justifying workaholism
Effective time management is important, but having conversations with your partner and actively listening to each other's needs is equally crucial. Discuss your career goals and life aspirations, and set some ground rules, such as disconnecting from work during specific times. Regular one-on-one conversations with your partner can help you stay connected and aware of what's happening in each other's lives, leading to a happier relationship. This is my advice
I dont I'm very bad at this as of now. In the past it was easy to get more time with family. But work stresses me out to the point I cannot stop looking at the computer even on my off days.
Everytime I miss an e-mail things go hay wire now all of a sudden. There is alot of eyes on my whole space at this point in time and I'm not the only one feeling it. Our execs too. Infact my whole team feels it.
You only have 1 life. When you are working you are trading your life for work/money.
Unless it is critical to work extra, don't unless comped and required. The company will take whatever you give and ask for more. Here is the tip. Don't give it, unless you are getting something in return.
If you typically are working 7hrs and waiting for x component to finish then doing the 8th,9th hr. Thats bit different, start later in the day.
Why? Because your life is worth it.
Same for the gf/bf make sure they are worth your time.
If you're in your 20's and you guys are just dating, she should understand that you're trying to build your career ans set yourself up for the future. Marriage isna different story, but you need to find someone who is as commited to their career porgression as you are. In doing this, when you guys are ready for marriage and starting a family, you're in a much better position.
Be honest with yourself for a second. How much time are you actually putting into your work and is that the amount of time you want to or need to put in? If you put in a little more or less will it actually impact your career trajectory? Your boss ultimately cares more about what you get done than the time that you are in the office so see if there is anything you can do to be more efficient. Then decide if you are working too much or if the time you are putting in is worth it. You may be working too much and still be working when you are home or the ask of your girlfriend may be unreasonable, which is for you to decide.
Personally, i automate everything i can so that my time in the office is spent doing value add things and managing my people rather than mindlessly clicking buttons. I allow myself to check work emals in the afternoon but only to make sure that none of them are truly urgent and ignore the rest until tomorrow. I'm generally able to put in fewer hours than most because I'm very productive when I'm at work. I'm currently a finance director and on the path to be a cfo in the next 3 years so this style hasn't held me back.
Make a schedule on your device/ phone, even set alarms to remind yourself at least 3 times a week to spend at least an hour with her. Every week. For the rest of your life.
