Frankly, work is not the most important thing for you. It's one of many priorities which might include family, personal or spiritual development, or athletics. You need to make a living, but there are other things in life besides work. You need:
- an understanding employer who appreciates that you'll do a good job, but the job isn't your life
- flexibility in how and when you work (like from home, for instance; or four 10-hour days a week)
- a place where the people are nice and not going to put a lot of pressure on you as long as you do your job
- a boss who understands that you may be comfortable doing the same job for a long time without needing to get promoted
A good example of a job like this would be in a customer service organization where you can 'plug in' from home whenever you have down time. Other kinds of service jobs where there are a pool of people doing the same tasks would also fit. It's important for you not to take a job with strict time commitments (unless it's a special arrangement like a four day workweek).
You'll probably be comfortable in an organization with a Role Culture, or in a Person Culture with an understanding and flexible boss.
