How do you balance work and home life?

Well I am quite lucky in that regard since I am hired on special terms meaning I should not work more than 25hours a week plus having the Wednesday and weekend off. So to keep things simple I don’t do anything work after my work hours for the day and unless it is very important I don’t do appointments like dentist, massage and so on, on other days than during my Wednesday. So my work life balance is very easy to handle even though that changes can happen.

If I had a normal job with normal work hours I would have done my best to work for the 37 hours which is normal here and unless major events happen not work extra hours since I feel that many people forget to spend time with loved ones and miss a lot of events because of that and I don’t wanna lose that. I know that might make me get less pay but I am sure that family time is more valuable. Surely I would work extra for money if something in my life required it.
