> How do you guys manage the other half of work?

I'm guessing this is a typo.

Honestly speaking I don't manage it well. I go through spurts of either side, luckily alternating between social and work. There are weeks where I sort of disappear and even avoid my friends and loved ones. But either by design or by chance I get out of it only to fall on the other side of the wall. I have made my peace with this pattern, perhaps you can try this out? Now I am not saying when I am in my social manic phase I don't go to work but it is not a priority any more. No more trying things out because they sound fun, more coffee chats, say yes to less meetings, etc.
