Set boundaries
No one can or should be on 24/7. Yet you probably feel you are--because you allow yourself to be.
Set some boundaries: the time you'll stop working, certain times you'll do things with your family, certain times you won't take calls, etc. Then let people know those boundaries.

There are things you need to do every day, much of what you think you need to do isn't particularly important--especially where your long-term goals are concerned.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
