Is work-life-balance possible in your country?

Regarding Japan, I have to say it’s impossible to answer this question. Japanese business guys still work for a long time everyday. 

Most miserable guys usually work from 9:00 to 24:00, and incredibly they are elites in central ministries. They are working for not themselves and their family but a nation.

You may be surprised to know that workers in Tokyo spend 4 hours commuting every day. Living costs in Tokyo are very high, so they need to commute from around to the center of Tokyo. It's common sense.

As for me, I had commuted 4 hours around my 40s. And I drove more than 100 kilometers every day to commute. Working 8 hours, commuting 4 hours, sleeping 8 hours. I had to eat, bathe, wash my face and teeths, and chat with my wife, in only 4 hours. 

I will turn 60 years old this year. So I’m considering how to keep work-life-balance. What will you need to do to keep your health? According to Confucianism, it’s important to save the virtue of moderation. What’s the virtue of moderation? In this thought, you shouldn't be angry too much, you shouldn’t grieve too much. And you shouldn’t work too much, rest too much, eat too much, and so on. Everything needs to be in moderation.

I want to say that Japanese people shouldn't overwork. But convenience stores are working 24 hours, railway workers never strike, and Amazon delivery workers are delivering every day here in Japan. 

And there isn’t night in Tokyo.
