I loved this question: "When did the paradigm shift from a world where you’re with your family all the time, creating community, with breaks for work, to a world where you strive all the time with breaks for family and creating community?"
One of the main reasons I appreciate working part-time (29 hours/week) instead of full-time is because I have a set number of hours I'm allowed to work, and then I don't feel guilty shutting my work down outside of those hours and I'm just free to do whatever I want with the rest of my time. It seems like folks who have full-time 40-hour/week jobs are often expected to put in even more time than that without any extra pay or benefits.
