More than Myself

Does anyone else have difficulty having a “work-life balance” as a teacher?  Is it fair to even characterize teaching as work?  Should there be a division between our teaching selves and our writing and other life selves?  I remember buying a book called THE ONE -MINUTE TEACHER about 20 years ago and eagerly seeking our answers to developing more balance.  It wasn’t a great help, but  I think I’m going to look at it again to see what I think of the philosophy.
