Personalities for Work and Play

One thing which I have found to be an critical aspect to grasp is the separation between work and play. This is a question that I believe everyone should ask himself or herself: Do I...

1) Like to keep work and play separate?

2) Like to have a mix of work and play together?

If you answered 1, then it means you don't want to think about work when you are "off hours." This may mean that you are out of touch with your passion or do not have an option with it. Or more severely, you have learned to sacrifice it at some point.

If you answered 2, then it means you know your passion (or should be close to it). You want them to be combined because you want to enjoy the time that you work. That's great. But keep in mind that this allows the work to consume the other parts of your life and you may never escape it.

I suppose there is a trade-off in either situation. However, concerning this blog, I would hope that more people would have the boldness to strive for Option 2) and yet be controlled enough not to let it "take over." It's a tough balance.
