Do you have work guilt? - Or should it be non-work guilt? Nod your head if you feel guilty when you're not working. Thought so. I go through the same a bit, although mine is a bit different because our team works remotely, but I feel like I have to be present more than always working if that makes sense. 

 

As Ag industry people, we view it as a badge of honour if we work hard. But why do we have to beat ourselves up about this form of guilt? 

 

We do it because we don't want our peers, neighbours or family labelling us "the minister for tourism", "part-time Farmer", or "doesn't know what fence strainers look like". You know, the pub talk. 

 

And it's not the people that work 8 to 5, they have it half sorted. It's the people that work from 5 to 8 and still think they haven't done enough. So how do we break the shackles because it's not healthy to feel guilty?
