3:12
bad is it out there uh with work life balance are we working too much and uh
3:15
balance are we working too much and uh
3:15
balance are we working too much and uh what's the pressure we're under I think
3:17
what's the pressure we're under I think
3:17
what's the pressure we're under I think one of the most important pressure is
3:20
one of the most important pressure is
3:20
one of the most important pressure is that we expect ourselves to have work
3:23
that we expect ourselves to have work
3:23
that we expect ourselves to have work life balance and some people take it
3:24
life balance and some people take it
3:24
life balance and some people take it very seriously that oh if I do not go to
3:27
very seriously that oh if I do not go to
3:27
very seriously that oh if I do not go to bed at 10 p.m. but instead of
3:30
bed at 10 p.m. but instead of
3:30
bed at 10 p.m. but instead of five plus 10 then it's not a balance
3:33
five plus 10 then it's not a balance
3:33
five plus 10 then it's not a balance anymore so that's can be we put pressure
3:35
anymore so that's can be we put pressure
3:35
anymore so that's can be we put pressure on ourselves to be balanced my God that
