Are you the type of person who can clearly separate work and off-work time? I am, I can clearly distinguish them. After work, it's my time to be alone, relax, and recharge. If someone dares to disturb me, they basically can't, because I turn off my work phone after work, and unless it's something extremely urgent, others can't find me. However, I'm not a big shot, so usually, nobody bothers me.

I have to admit that I'm a bit "picky." My private time is sacred and not to be violated. When I finish work and step out of the company's door, my mind is already planning how to spend my private time. At that moment, I only have one goal in mind: go home, play games, or go out for drinks and dinner. I don't touch anything work-related.

Some might think I'm too much, but this is my consistent principle, absolutely non-negotiable. Everyone has their own bottom line, and for me, the bottom line is to clearly separate work and private time. If you can't even figure out what you want, it's really pathetic.

Of course, I'm not unreasonable. If there's something to discuss or solve during working hours, I will absolutely give my all. But after work, it's my time, and I don't want to touch anything related to work. It's like when the supermarket closes, no matter how hard you knock, no one will answer you. Clearly defining the boundary between work and life is crucial for me. Work is for living, not the other way around. With so much to do, I strive not to let work become the only thing in my life.

Sometimes, I think maybe these are personal choices. Those workaholics surely don't understand my decision, but I don't understand them either. It's not necessary to mutually understand; if we can't agree, accepting differences is enough. Let's coexist peacefully.

After work, personal time is everyone's freedom.

This still needs to be clarified and distinguished.

I can't differentiate, and I don't want to work either. I'm already thinking about retiring early.
