I work as a programmer in an outsourcing software company in China . As you know , we always work overtime on week days . Even though I do some extra work on weekends with no subsidies . Too many companies take advantage of their employees with little care for their wellbeing. I make efforts at work every day . But there're always tasks for you . I can't stop being a slave to work . I wanna have more leisure time to relax and learn English . Anyway , life is hard , I can't change this world but myself . So I keep learning English every day for 1 hour even it's really very late . I'll make the best use of my time . I also keep working out every weekend to relax and recharge my battery which runs out at work. Why do I make efforts to learn English? Because I really envy those kind of jobs that arranged work hours flexibly . I also wanna do some jobs like these. Such as a telework , English tour guide , foreign trade business, etc. I believe in myself and I can go further. Keep going at my own pace. 💪 Do you work overtime very often ? How do you balance your work and life ? Let me know in the comments .✍
