My hope is that by keeping a keen eye on the strategies that lead to success in terms of Work-Life Balance will allow me to successfully achieve my goals...we shall see.

I've been doing it, because I have believed that no one could do the job I was doing. Now, I know that this isn't true. People knew that I would do the extra, and therefore, they gave me the extra. I didn't even get extra paid. My wife wasn't happy about that :) I've started to say no, and focus on my life online and time with the family. The times are changing, and it's for the better.

Good thing for everyone to try. I’ve started to say no more at work and am finding I’m doing a much better job for my clients, the one’s who my focus should be while at work.

The word "no" just seems to emanate this stigma like it's some sort of death nail when in fact, when used wisely, it can be a very valuable tool in keeping your sanity.

I am a web designer trying to balance freelance and a full-time job. It's tough some days when all you want to do is go home and not work more! But, when you involved with technology there is nothing worse than calling it quits after work is done. Technology changes SO fast that without keeping up and learning new ways to do things, you'll fall behind and not be at the top of your game. I guess it depends what your end goals are, career and/or social life. Thanks for the post! Keeping a healthy balance between work and personal life is tough, especially in the web world.
