Tips to bring in the work life balance
1. Don’t bring work home
2. Start with making small changes
3. Perfection is an illusion
4. Share the workload
5. Learn to say no
6. Meditate and exercise
7. Avoid procrastinating
It varies tremendously. I know people who absolutely LOVE their job, and they are bored or sad when the weekend comes along because they really look forward to Monday. S’okay. If that wobbles your oyster, then knock yourself out.
Other people I know carry out their jobs because they need to pay the rent, but they really only wake up when they are out running or dancing…
It will depend very much on who you are, whether you are in a relationship (and what kind of relationship), what you enjoy…
Personally, I find it varies depending on my current workload.
If we focus too much on our careers our personal life suffers, and if we focus too much on family it seems we will not achieve the success we want - and then there are the household obligations, volunteer opportunities, health and fitness responsibilities, oh and if there is any time left at all maybe you can find time to do something you want to do just because.
So, I want to say listen to your heart!! You only have one life and you get to choose what you make of it.
Slowly build more activities into your schedule that are important to you. Even during a hectic day, you can take 10 or 15 minutes to do something that will recharge your batteries.You have to make a little time for the things that ignite your joy. Yes social media is a distracting medium but you can use it wisely and for social talk with your friends and relatives only not for anything that distract you and others.
work
family and social life
sleep
food
exercise etc
creating these boundaries make you value the time you have and the purpose for which you are working. you end up saving time and energy and living life more meaningfully
I agree with you thanks for this excellent post about how to balance work and life.
Work must be part of life. But not life is part of the job
I think you must pay attention on the rest and your hobbies to stay happy.
I agree with Pulssarr. Hobby is great way to relax from work and problems. I like gardening. It is a great hobby - something to enjoy in your spare time, for sure. But it can also be a great profession, as those of us who are professional growers can attest- though in this country there is a nonsensically stupid social stigma attatched to farming and manually working the land, that deters young people from entering the field, so to speak. But it is not about me! I even thinking about buying livestock, I can make money on this. Now I want to make electric fences https://bestyardproducts.com/how-to-electrify-a-fence/ They will bring me a higher level of security as far as my animals are concerned.
