Work: I Think I've Been Doing Too Much

I mentioned in a post last month how busy life has been. Our personal lives were pretty nuts in March and my work life was also ridiculously busy. Work hasn't seemed to slow down since then. April and May were also busy with a three week stint of full time work. Last week I went back to my usual two days of work, but I ended up going into work on the other three days as well. The only conclusion that I can draw from all this is that I'm working too much. I find the whole work/life balance really tricky. I want to be involved in work and when exciting or challenging things come up I find it hard to say no. Of course this inevitably impacts on home life. One of the ironies of all this is that the thing that keeps me super busy lately is Maudsley Family Therapy. Off I go to work with other people's families and I'm shuffling my son off to day care and to helpful friends. I guess this is a struggle that many parents go through. When someone figures it out can you let me know??
