More people need to, it is sad to say, learn how to live life. Most just exist, day in day out mentality. I worked, I liked my job, but then again, I liked and valued my time off. Overtime was voluntary unless no one volunteered, I rarely worked overtime. When people turn their lives over to someone else, it is very difficult for them to regain control of their life. Having the ability to walk away is always a choice, but few will ever take it. Like you suggested though, work less, go part time. Start to take control and responsibility for your own life, live it, because tomorrow you may die.
