Like suppose you have deadline of 1 week if you spend 7-8 hours daily. But sometimes (happening all times with me) I over stretch myself to complete it in 2-3 days itself. I don't get better sleep or focus on other things like watch movies or play games until I complete it.
Chill out a bit, dude. If you finish 7 days of work in 2-3 days, you'll get rewarded with more work for the remaining 3-4 days. 😄 And ultimately you'll burn out and will have to take a break for 1-2 years from job to recover, before you can start working again.
So I have the opposite OCD. If the deadline is in one week, I'll procrastinate and start the work on day 3-4, and then when it's not done by day 7, I'll explain the complexity of the work in detail to the manager, and ask for one more week, and finally deliver the work in 14 days. 😂
And on top of that, I'll get nominated for employee of the month reward by the manager, for having delivered such a complex piece of work in just 2 weeks. 😂
I can understand your perspective but you need to make a list of things for self care
Otherwise you will burn out and in top of that feel shitty that you are missing on stuff
🙌
Same happens with me. I don’t work most of tha days, but if some task is assigned to me which has deadline after 7 days(which I can do easily in 3-4 days) I don’t feel free. I do it in 1-2 days (day and night ) and then only I can relax. Want to escape this trend. Help me.
Me too bro 🥲
I can feel you. It's good that you do it before hand but that's not good for your health. Some people do it for mental satisfaction, some do it in fear like if they are doing it right or not. I used to do the same when I was novice. After 2-3 years, I understood the assignment correctly and complete the same asap but started submitng it on the day of completion day.
do you like coding? do you enjoying keeping up with new things? do you like the idea of continuous learning (especially in the field)? aren’t you overwhelmed? if tech didn’t pay well, would you still be working in tech?
I always think of studying or building that one project over the weekend or complete that one chore which is pending from past 2 years! But fail everytime, I don't even move on weekends i don't like going anywhere I don't even like house...
I see a lot of posts about WLB, I want to know what do you consider as a decent WLB. I will go first.
Rule of thumb If you get work thoughts outside 9-6 or weekends, it's not WLB.
