How do I know what 'enough' looks like at work?

People ask what would make the work sustainable and you have no answer, because the ceiling keeps moving. Every level you reach quietly becomes the new floor, and the target slides up just out of reach again. You are chasing a finish line that redraws itself the moment you cross it, which means you can run forever and never arrive. Enough is not something you will stumble into by achieving more. It is something you have to define, on purpose, from the outside — because left to itself, wanting has no ceiling. If you never name what would be sufficient, then no amount ever will be, and the chase simply consumes you. The problem is not that you have not reached enough. It is that enough has never been given a shape. So give it one. Sit down and write, concretely, what a sustainable week would actually look like — the hours, the load, the life outside it. Make it specific enough to measure. You cannot stop chasing a line you have never drawn. Drawing it is how you finally get to reach it.
