Another, maybe even more simple approach is: the art of saying no.
Corporate life today has this idea that we should always be doing more. Side hassles, taking on more. Putting in extra hours, etc.
There's beauty in knowing when enough is enough and stepping back and making time for yourself.
- baby 5y agoI've always called that "learning to disappoint people". If you want to be a good and productive engineer, you have to defend your time and isolate yourself. You can't let anyone else be in control of your agenda. That means not answering to people promptly (or at all), saying no to projects, etc.
