Do You Have Work/Life Balance?

If you thought that people who have a day job work hard, you should look at an average small business owner. As entrepreneurs, we tend to overwork. We tend not to succumb to the typical 9-5 workday and it is inevitable that we have to put in more hours than usual, work more days per week than usual and not even take any holidays.
That’s not the right thing to do though. I’ll be the first one to admit that I love what I do so much that I can’t seem to think of anything else to do the moment I am out of the office. I just don’t seem to enjoy anything else as I enjoy working on my business, blogging and tweeting.
However, I refuse to work for more than 5 days a week and I am working towards making my weekdays a little more organized. The more work I manage to get done each day of the week, the better I would feel. Those are productive days. But then, the real motivation comes from the fact that I look forward to do anything but worry about business during weekends.
Entrepreneurs must have a work/life balance. The statement holds true for entrepreneurs more than anyone else because of the fact that they work harder than anyone else, their day isn’t complete without tremendous amounts of stress.
How does your day look like? Do you have a work/life balance that you are proud of? What’s your take on a well-balanced life?
