The one thing I would love to quit this year 2024 is a bad work-life balance.
Keeping up late at night in the name of work, one thing is certain, if health deteriorates, that same work I tried my best to keep up with would be abandoned. It is someone healthy that thinks about work.
I have been saying this for a while without making any adjustments but I really need to limit my work time and spend time caring for my health too.
I sleep for less than 8 hours out of the 24 hours and I can spend the whole day sitting and operating on my laptop, sometimes the only time I stand up is either to get something to eat or freshen up.
This is an unhealthy lifestyle and even if it is not affecting at the moment, it might have its effect during old age, a life without exercise and good sleep, and am planning to change everything this year.
I started by adjusting my sleep time to 11 p.m instead of the usual 1 or 2 a.m that I do sleep and it seems my body system is already adapting to the new changes because whenever I sleep by 11p.m I often wake up around 8a.m.
The plan now is to have also fixed a time for work, work from 9 a.m. till 1 p.m. shut down my PC, take a nap, and not work till later in the night, probably for an hour or 2 hours before I sleep by 11p.m.
Staying away from late-night work will help to boost my system and brain, I realize whenever I sleep early, I feel so good in the morning, unlike days when I sleep so late and wake up with a headache or sometimes with a hot temperature and bad mood.
I went out today to do my jamb regularization for the part-time program am running, I covered some distance moving from one motor to the other, and I kind of love the feeling and realize I also need to be going out more rather than stay indoors all day and not enjoy the vitamin D that comes from sunlight.
I have tried doing the press-ups and push-ups I see online but seems I give up on that easily, probably because I do it alone and am not motivated.
Health is wealth, no matter the amount of money we have, it is useless without good health to enjoy it, our youthful days are when we should start taking good care of ourselves so we can enjoy our old age.
No more late-night work, I will eat right and live right, go out more which covers the exercise part, and just maintain an overall healthy lifestyle.
Just call me Burl.
