When do we rest?

I know, I know ... it sounds like whining, but really, I'm just trying to figure out the balance in my life. As an administrator, I found it easier to walk away from work stuff on the weekends and in the evenings. As a faculty member, I feel like my time has expanded ... while I don't have to go to an office every day, I'm online every day working with students, working on research, prepping for a class, or involved with a current class. Don't get me wrong; I love the variety and the fact that I'm in more control of my own time & activities. I just am working toward finding balance so I don't feel guilty when I'm "away" from work and focusing on other parts of my life. Any ideas?

Muliple Priorities

This work as a faculty member is really the work I'm meant to do... Even as I continue to learn what it means to be a university faculty member, I find the work quite rewarding. The teaching is great, the writing always challenges us to move beyond what we know, and learning while doing all of this is invigorating. Every day I feel I've come so far, even while I realize how much more there is to learn -- I made a vow to stay off the computer for two complete days. I realized that being a faculty member has become a 24/7 experience, so to "walk away" from the computer for awhile was good, though I did feel guilty about it as though I were shirking my duties to the university and students. Being away helped me focus on home, hubby, and peace of mind in general. Good to make a break now and then.
