5 Hacks to Find Balance Between Work, Rest, and Life (Without Losing Your Mind). Oh, that glorious chaos of adulting! Left hand typing reports, right hand folding laundry, one foot meal-prepping, and the other chasing a toddler. “Balance”? More like “survival mode.” But fear not—I’ve cracked the code. As a self-proclaimed “balance wizard,” here’s my cheat sheet: 1️⃣ Daily ‘Mini-Vacation’ Steal 30 minutes every day for pure joy: a book, Netflix, doodling, or staring at trees. Non-negotiable. (Your sanity will thank you.) 2️⃣ People > To-Do Lists Swap “productivity guilt” for real moments with loved ones. Pro tip: Laughing with friends recharges you faster than 10 coffees. 3️⃣ Perfectionism? Kick It to the Curb Repeat after me: “Done > Perfect.” Your boss won’t notice the typo. But burnout? Oh, they’ll notice that. 4️⃣ Master the Art of “NOPE” Not your emergency? Not your problem. Boundaries = freedom. (And fewer 3 AM Slack pings.) 5️⃣ Phone? Gone on Weekends Activate “ghost mode.” No emails. No doomscrolling. Just living. (Spoiler: The world won’t collapse.) Your Turn, Balance Warriors! What’s your secret to surviving the corporate circus? Share below! 🎪✨ P.S. If all else fails… chocolate.

I have recently got into a habit of driving wherever I want to go since I purchased an electric car ( it's actually a hybrid car) four months ago. I recorded the last date that I filled up the tank. That was February 25th. 200 Yuan for gas and 50 Yuan for charging let my car ran for near 800 kilometres. So, all my thoughts about electric cars have changed. They are not toys which many people think. This reminds me of the situation which cameras faced many years ago. During that period, more clear pictures were taken by cameras than phones . Most people still chose to buy digital cameras to take photos. But now, cameras have been almost replaced by cell phones. Nowadays, Canon or even Kodak, these brands are known for making other produces, but cameras. The glasses made by Kodak are great for preventing myopia. Of course, the technology or making glasses is related to making a camera. So, if the produces made by BMW are not cars in future, don't be suprise!

Do you think it is better to be an adult or a child?

Tell us a little bit about yourself (your hobbies, experience in learning english) I'm working for a school as a teaching assistant.
