I think what it really comes down to is using your filters wisely, and making the most effective use of your time. Knowing who is going to provide value to your own learning and who is only going to waste your time is a huge part of how effective you'll be in the long run.

I myself am a worker I work all the time I got my first job when I was 14 when I turned 16 I then was working 2 jobs at once everyday of the week (including Saturdays and Sundays). And I haven't stopped working since. I constantly am working or thinking about working... I was once an avid facebook and myspace user but deleted both when I, of course started working, haven't had one since... I am sincerly burned out. I'm still young though so there is still hope, but I have tried to stop working and I can't. The desire to take on more than I can handle and work myself to death was built into my bones and can't ever stop. It's just who I am. :|<br><br>But! it does not mean I can't enjoy a wonderful post like this! :) I love this!

Chris,

I definitely pushed myself the too hard the past 2 years of college. I used to work 7 days a week and it would fog up my brain and make me unproductive and unable to retain as much information. I started taking Friday night and Saturday (the Jewish sabbath) off and it made a world of difference.

Social media provides one of the more distracting temptations that office workers and computer folks have ever been faced with! I'm living and learning how to manage it , rather than let it consume me.

A big part of it is trying to focus on what activites and relationships will make me money or move my closer to my own goals, which (probably) won't – and investing my time accordingly.

for me, on most days when I am doing a lot, I feel “burnt out” – I am definitely a work in progress!

Part of me wants to believe that if I “burn the candle at both ends” and sacrifice my life now, then eventually it will pay off big time in the future.

And part of me believe that if I burn myself too hard now, I won't live a happy life.

My number one priority for now is getting married, and it's difficult to meet people and make time for them with a 70 – 80 hour workweeek… so I am going to sacrifice work hours and projects for more of a social life. I haven't been blogging much recently because I want to have a weekend, and I usually would write content all day on sunday!

In my vision, having a health online life means being focused on one particular thing… specific niche or area… and not too focused on trying to be everything to everybody!

Just staying connected and staying on top of what's happening is enough for a 50 hour week. Add in another 30 for doing the work that pays! Danny,
