I understand that we need to get refresh and play. Life can't be just work and study but what balance we need to maintain your health your family your work with all that been said the SDA which is the Skills Development Activities should continue, we need to find time to self-study improve and continue education because the technology is moving fast to keep ourself-up to date we need to continue improvement even if you do less, once a week but at least do it continually. There are many activities like TV shows which divert us from rolling on development.
So what we need to do to charge our self to continue education when our mood falter of study
No problem that's normal don't panic give yourself a break take vacation take time off study but set your PPO high (Personal Performance Objective) set a target to study and reward yourself after finishing a small course even if you don't get promotion at work just rewards yourself, celebrate your success of completion of the course, any knowledge you add on is a plus point. We as human being tend to forget so by continuous reading we exercise our memory and keep it active.

As Rami said, it is all about time management. I work all day, come home, feed the dogs and maybe myself, do chores around the house, spend some time watching TV, maybe do a bit of work at the same time, read for a bit (either for fun or if I am studying) then go to bed and start all over again. Weekends are about having fun. I may check my emails and if I am working on a certification I may read/study for a bit. But the rest of the weekend is time to relax and enjoy life. Project Management is great, but life is short and you do not want any regrets about missing out on an adventure.

^ Nice Dinah. What types of dogs? How many? We have 3; Irish Terrier, Wheaton Terrier, and Jack Russel mix. My days are very similar to yours, except I feed the pups in the morning :)

I feed the dogs and cats in the morning and evening. I have three of each. My dogs are a Boston Terrier mix, a beagle and a scruffy little terrier mix. Then two orange tabbies and a brown tabby.

Riyadh, Proper Time Management means you will never be "running late for an exam". You can schedule extra time just before an exam to do additional studying.
And there are a myriad of dog breeds and quite a few cat breeds.
Riyadh -
Good post. Thanks. All the discussions on the review column are very interesting.

Informative article, Riyadh and I agree with you on this. I plan on doing something innovative every year, and it really helps me to focus on things I do on day-to-day work.

TV and mobile idle screen time takes away from time for the big things. Family, friends, community, career all get pushed out of mind while you veg and block things out. Finding that balance you talk about Riyadh is key and everyone's balance point is different. Key is to challenge yourself to keep the big things in your life first and prepare today for where you want to be 10 years from now personally and professionally.
Thanks Dinah for your feedback
Girija, yes indeed thanks for your feed back
Anish, thanks for your feed back and good for you to follow that plan
Sam, you're absolutely right, it's true every one has different balance point , thanks for your contribution
