My Life Strategy has Always Been to Cope with Stress by Working Hard

But now I realize that you can definitely over do hard work and while overworking might provide you with more money and success it can also halt some positive things by taking up too much of your time or providing an opportunity to avoid things.
Is there anything in your life that you find to be both a positive and a negative or that you wish you could learn to balance out better?

My achievement expectations. They're way too high for no good reason.

@Queendragonfly There probably is a reason that you set your expectations so high. If you get to the root of that maybe you can release that pressure and find more balance. Also keep your deepest life goals in mind. I messed up by missing out on or delaying certain very important things for work.

@REMsleep It certainly is, I was reflecting on it today. It helped.
