    Everyone should prioritize life over work.

    I agree. But also: nobody should expect others to carry them. You have to balance these two things in your life.

    Since many people here are American, I feel like I need to clarify a bit. I live in a country where almost nobody works over 7,5h per day. And when they do, every hour is compensated for, sometimes with 150%/200% surcharge. I find it extremely weird that some people in a 1st world country work overtime for free, or generally speaking work over 8 hours per day in intellectual work on a regular basis.
