Been saying this for
I don't know how long! Longer hours a deadline does not meet. Family time and personal time are paramount to a healthy life style. I look at many of the "professionals" that are the same age as me... and many look 3-4 times my age. Why? Because I refused to allow myself to be driven into the ground.

I have a simple philosophy. Noone is going to die if I don't get this project finished now.

In the Navy it was different, people could and did die, in the corporate world... unless you are in the medical related fields, noone will die if you don't finish on time. It's all perspective.

But even the Navy recognizes time with family as important.
