<div class="draft-block draft--p left">Situation: Two male colleagues, Tom and Alex, are having a conversation during their coffee break at a tech company in Taipei. They're discussing the challenges of maintaining work-life balance in the fast-paced tech industry.</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">Tom: "Hey Alex, how's your week going?"</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">Alex: "Busy as usual, Tom. I feel like I'm always racing against the clock. How about you?"</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">Tom: "Same here. I've been thinking a lot about work-life balance lately. For many time-poor working professionals in Taiwan, it's really challenging to find time for personal life. Do you think it's worse in the tech industry?"</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">Alex: "Probably. The constant deadlines and project pressures can be overwhelming. Have you found any ways to balance work and personal time?"</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">Tom: "I've started blocking out lunch hours in my calendar and I'm trying to communicate with our manager to reduce overtime hours. It's not easy, but it's a start. What about you?"</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">Alex: "I try to set boundaries, like not checking work emails after 8 PM. It's hard, but it helps. I've also started using the Pomodoro technique - working in 25-minute focused sessions with short breaks in between. It's improved my productivity and helps me feel less overwhelmed."</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">Tom: "That's interesting. I should try that too. Maybe we should share these tips with our team. It could help everyone manage stress better."</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">Alex: "Agreed. Well, break's almost over. Back to the grind!"</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">Tom: "Yeah, let's catch up again soon. Take care!"</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">情境：兩位男性同事湯姆和亞歷克斯在台北一家科技公司的咖啡休息時間進行對話。他們正在討論在快節奏的科技行業中維持工作與生活平衡的挑戰。</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">湯姆：「嘿，亞歷克斯，這週過得怎麼樣？」</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">亞歷克斯：「和往常一樣忙，湯姆。我感覺自己總是在和時間賽跑。你呢？」</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">湯姆：「我也一樣。最近我一直在思考工作與生活的平衡。對於台灣許多時間緊迫的職場人士來說，要找時間享受個人生活真的很有挑戰性。你覺得科技業的情況更糟嗎？」</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">亞歷克斯：「可能是吧。不斷的截止日期和專案壓力確實讓人喘不過氣。你有找到什麼方法來平衡工作和個人時間嗎？」</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">湯姆：「我開始在日曆上把午餐時間空出來，而且我正試著跟主管溝通以減少加班時數。這不容易，但算是個開始。你呢？」</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left"></div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">亞歷克斯：「我試著設定界限，比如晚上8點後不查看工作郵件。這很難做到，但確實有幫助。我最近也開始使用番茄工作法 - 專注工作25分鐘，然後短暫休息。這提高了我的工作效率，也讓我感覺不那麼壓力山大。」</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">湯姆：「這聽起來很有趣。我也該試試看。也許我們應該和團隊分享這些技巧。這可能幫助每個人更好地管理壓力。」</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">亞歷克斯：「同意。好吧，休息時間快結束了。該回去工作了！」</div>
<div class="draft-block draft--p left">湯姆：「是啊，我們改天再聊。保重！」</div>
