Radiology's curse of easy extra work: how to reclaim leisure and prioritize life

Easily accessible remote reading can make every hour feel billable, but overworking harms long-term well-being. Radiologists can break the cycle with generative hobbies, financial boundaries, and recognizing that wealth is for living, not the goal.

• A 'generative hobby' (like writing) can provide meaningful leisure without the guilt of lost income.
• Paying off student loans and living below your means relieves financial pressure, making it easier to disconnect.
• Physical fitness, relationships, and leisure are ingredients for a marathon career—not a sprint.
