Give your best at work. Do more than what is required. Make people (customers or stakeholders) happy.
But right after that, draw a line and set your boundaries. Get some rest, invest your time with your family, or make time for your health. Don't let "anxious toil" drive your everyday life.
Yes, there will always be more work to do tomorrow. But God also gives rest to his loved ones and faithfully provides even when you are asleep.
Let go of your guilt – take your rest. Tomorrow, you'll get a new day to give your best.

WORK & REST
How To Do The Impossible
Many confuse doing the "impossible" with doing it "instantly."
To do the impossible, start with the workable. Win small fights because that will eventually lead you to bigger fights. Celebrate, take what you learn, and then set another goal – a bit bigger than the previous one. Repeat.
In the long run, you'll realize that it's not just about the goal. It's about believing. It's about persevering. It's about the character building.
Great work (careers, businesses or advocacies) takes time to build. And that's fine. The impossible work becomes possible one day at a time.
"Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin…" Zechariah 4:10

WORK VS. PRISON
Here's something I read online. I thought I'd be good to share it before we start the work week.
IN PRISON... you spend the majority of your time in an 8X10 cell.
AT WORK... you spend the majority of your time in a 6X8 cubicle.
IN PRISON... you get three meals a day.
AT WORK... you only get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it.
IN PRISON... you get time off for good behavior.
AT WORK... you get more work for good behavior.
IN PRISON... the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
AT WORK... you must carry around a security card and open all the doors for yourself.
IN PRISON... you can watch TV and play games.
AT WORK... you get fired for watching TV and playing games.
IN PRISON... you get your own toilet.
AT WORK... you have to share with someone who pees on the seat.
IN PRISON...they allow your family and friends to visit.
AT WORK...you can't even speak to your family.
IN PRISON... all expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required
AT WORK... you get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners.
IN PRISON... you spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out.
AT WORK... you spend most of your time wanting to get out or go inside bars.
IN PRISON... you must deal with sadistic wardens.
AT WORK... they are called managers.
So why is it, again, that we work?
