I usually work as hard as I feel I can while still feeling healthy. Sleep is prioritized over work, and I never push work if it means going to bed any later than 11pm/12am. i always make sure to have Saturday as a "rest day" for gaming, but every other day? Work smarter, not harder. |
That was exactly my sentiment in my 20s. But you don't stay young forever. Slow down before your body and mind can't keep up any longer.
Now I exercise at least an hour a day, often 2. Feel so much healthier both in mind and body.
Just a heads-up, there's more to life than work. I basically lost all my friends from 'neglect', being too busy with work. So now I'm 50, happily live with my wife and kids, but have no friends I ever hang out with. The internet is my only social outlet. Not as bad as it sounds, or so I tell myself. Hence I have a lot of extra time for gaming!
