All work and no play will burn you out. For the past two weeks, I’ve been working way more than usual, trying to finish my website for affiliate marketing. Now it's done, and the only thing left to do is to populate it with items so that users have something to see.
Around lunchtime, while I was gathering materials for posting, I felt an urge to have some fun. Suddenly, I felt like I needed to pause for a bit and give myself time to enjoy because I might be overworking myself.
So after lunch, I took a short nap, then went back to work. But this time, I set a time limit for myself. I realized that I should have a daily limit on how long I work and that I shouldn’t be working until 11 PM.
Because if I overwork, I might not be able to produce good results when I'm tired.
So today, around 5 or 6 PM, I stopped working and decided to play.
For me, the kind of fun and relaxation I always enjoy is watching on the internet. If there's no good K-drama, I just watch random stuff on YouTube until I get sleepy. But now, I have some K-dramas lined up that I haven't started yet, so that’s what I watched.
I’m currently watching Love Next Door, a story about childhood friends who met again when the girl returned home from the US after canceling her wedding engagement and quitting her job.

I’m just on Episode 1, and I’m enjoying it since the lead actress is my favorite.
I just paused watching to look for something to eat while I continue, and I thought of sharing this with you. After I post this, I’ll go back to watching.
Let’s not push ourselves too hard with work. Remember that we should live happily every day, not in a stressful way. Have a nice evening, everyone!
