Hi, I am struggling to balance between work and personal life.I am losing people from my life because of too much time I have to give to work. I am not able to give time to my health or my parents.Tried multiple ways but not able to get out of this loop. Sometimes I skip meals too. I make to do list, I plan everything but nothing goes as per plan . A lot of adhoc urgent things come everyday, alot of people , a lot of pings sometimes I don't even get time to think just hoping from 1 meeting to another.I thought of changing my team but not even getting time to prepare.please help me to get out of this loop.
