Over the past few weeks I've had the opportunity to sit down with a few executives and chat about how things have been going within their companies. As I reflect back on those conversations, one thing is crystal clear - lots of people are working way too much.

Really great article and you bought up some awesome points. I'm guilty of being "overworked" at times. I can't count the number of times I've burnt out and retried to my be for a few days.

Because of my personality and bull headedness, I tend to struggle with finding a happy work-life balance. It's something that I'm continuously working on.

Thanks for taking the time to write this article and share it with us.

I think a great test is considering how much time you usually have to connect with family and friends, participate in hobbies, etc. There are definitely busy seasons, but it's more about discovering what your "normal" is.

I'd say a 7AM - 9PM workday is pretty rough. Why did you leave?

When do you become aware of that you are overworked? I remember when I was a part-owner of a café and business center with opening hours: early in the morning, 7 AM until late in the evening, around 9 PM.
