The work/career area of your life is a way to provide financially for you and your family. It may also influence your self-esteem and bring fulfillment into your life. You may also develop meaningful friendships at your place of work.
With all the time we spend at work, it is very important to not let your work take over your life. You have to set boundaries so you have a good balance between work and your other life areas.
