    “Hey, here are some nice things you can work on - but we know, that work is simply part of life and needs balance.”

    That sounds like a great approach to take!

    I initially started the reduction, as I realised, that pro-actively speaking, I think that my current work “deserves” 24h of my week rather than full 40h. It’s just not so important for my life. And I’m happy to be able to proactively make this decision.

    That’s a good mindset to practice! I’ll have to keep it in mind. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

    Edit: I did try to DM you but it keeps kicking me to my subscription page

        I’m only mobile for kbin at the moment so it doesn’t appear I can receive them (and setting my browser to desktop mode doesn’t change anything). But thank you so much for reaching out! I’ll try to get my hands on a non-work computer and check it out.
