Are You Working Too Hard?
The good thing about self employment is, there’s no one to tell you what to do. The bad thing about self employment is…well, that there’s no one to tell you what to do. Twelve hour days, three-minute lunch breaks, seven-day work weeks – when you’re the one in charge, you are your own worst enemy. And the scary part is, there often isn’t anyone to stop you from over-taxing yourself.

Many people who start out trying to make self employment work find themselves pushing way too hard for success. Measure your signs of stress to find out if you’re working a little too hard for your own personal well-being.

If it’s hard to focus on your work, if you’re unusually irritable with family and friends, if you find yourself experiencing a short temper, you might be over-stressing yourself. If you feel at odds and stressed out, you aren’t going to produce your best work. You’ll work harder, but see fewer results. In this way, you’ll be defeating yourself.

To relieve stress, learn more about meditation and the health benefits associated with this stress-relieving activity. It’s a good idea to practice some stress-relieving techniques as a matter of course, to keep yourself in good spirits and in a relaxed frame of mind.

Work is difficult, and when you work for yourself it can be very stressful. Ask yourself if you’re working too hard, and don’t be afraid to take a day off every now and then. There’s a reason that most people only work forty hours every week. If you find yourself working too hard most of the time, you might be a workaholic. 

Even when you’re self employed, you deserve to take it easy every now and then. Don’t work so hard that you can’t produce quality results from your effort.

@j3dy · 
Thank you for the post, but going over the trending page I see a really terrible "trend" I for one always hate on the fact that there are so many bots rolling around here. It takes as much as 2 hours a day to do manual curation and yet people just pool their power for profits. 

Examples are endless 200 votes - 7 views, her eat the moment 190 votes - 13 views.

I Think it is extremely damaging to the platform, sure the reasons are easy to see, people like profits, everybody is doing it, but the problems are that we have to run "experiments" on the platform and the people who actually do care are the ones who take the fall. 

Please engage the community and please incentivize active conversation. Quality over quantity, why are 20$ worth something when 20 people have seen it, anyways sorry for the rant, thank you for the short and simple post I have many things I have to take care of in my work life :) 

Best of luck with the steemit :)
