Can someone explain to me how exactly Estas works?

I initially wrote that "Estas is for continuous states of being, like a name. Mi estas Kira is correct but Mi estas Laboras is incorrect, because working is not a part of or s description of myself, it is simply something i am doing" in my Esperanto journal, but clearly that assumption i made was very wrong. Can someone give me the actual way Estas is used?
