I guess that’s a really subjective question. Over 10 years I came across colleagues who were all about the next promotion and were all over the work thing, being first in the office and last out. If that sounds like fun to you – more power to you I say.
I also came across people who loved partying. I had a colleague who was married and told me he loved work drinks where he could party on his own and not worry about his partner…
For me, I’m all about the family. Work, even at times that I really like doing it, is just that thing that puts food on our table and allows us to spend quality time together doing things we enjoy.
For me, it’s less about how do you prioritise and more about what do you prioritise, and then keep your focus on that.
Hope that helps
