If you work on the weekends…

I once had a colleague who would work every weekend.
Not only weekends, they often stayed late in the office on working days.

Performance? Average.
Good enough to stay afloat. Neither excellent to be applauded. Nor bad enough to be expelled.

On the other hand, I have had team leaders who would lead multiple teams for years, and still leave office sharp on time.

Delivering results no one of their predecessors ever did. Their team loved them.

Working more than you are supposed to isn’t a badge of pride.
It is often a sign you need to pause and evaluate where your time is leaking away.

After all, your work is just a part of your life. A very important, significant part. Nevertheless, it is still a part.

If your work becomes your identity, you often end up losing your identity.
If your work stays a part of your identity, you end up leveraging your identity to do even better, in every other part of your life.
