We’ve all made fun of the “crackberry” addicts – those folks who take their mobile devices with them everywhere, and can’t go ten minutes without banging out an email unless they’re asleep. And anyone who’s ever freelanced is familiar with the pressures that cause work to expand until is squeezes out everything else. Startup employees and developers generally are familiar with the eternal “death march” projects that cause us to sleep under our desks when we can no longer keep our eyes open to bang out code. In short, the stereotypical web worker has no separation between work and life.
But how true is this for you, our readers? Has work shoved everything else out of your waking hours? Or have you come up with ways to turn off the web, back away, and interact with people face to face? Do you take downtime from your job, or are you compelled to be always available? Here’s your chance to share tips (or horror stories) with your peers.
