How do you maintain work-life balance while handling increased workload demands in the accounting field?

Quand la charge de travail augmente, il est crucial de hiérarchiser les taches pour bien gérer votre temps. Identifiez d'abord les taches urgentes et importantes. Utilisez des outils comme la matrice d’Eisenhower pour classer les taches par urgence et importance. Concentrez-vous sur les plus essentielles et évitez les distractions par des taches moins critiques. Apprenez à distinguer l'urgent de l'important pour maintenir un bon équilibre.

In deed, in terms of prioritising the key is to be able to differentiate between what is important and what is urgent. And concerning urgency, it is of paramount importance to single out the most urgent from the least urgent. The degree and extent of urgency should be defined by the nature of the task at hand and the impact it will have on your job and/or on the company's overall performance. But, if things spiral out of control, it may imply that your workload is too heavy and cannot be commanded single handedly. If need be, seek out assistance; it's better than messing things up and bearing the brunt. In a worst case scenario, quit. You are a human being, not a beast of burden.

Experts recommend setting up your hierarchy of values with clear priorities.Your health should be at the top. Your physical and mental health are your main assets upon which everything else depends. You cannot deliver high quality work if you are constantly under pressure. And you will suffer if your work-life balance leans too much one way or the other.

Before you delegate, you need to have a thorough and clear understanding of your collarators' skills and competencies, and character, which is a most neglected aspect at the workplace; otherwise, you will assign roles and tasks that do not match each person's profile. Above all, once you devolve a task, set clear objectives with reasonable deadlines. Remind your collaborators that your are available for guidance and support without breathing down their necks. Trust and support create autonomous and reliable collaborators.

This paragraph seems to me pertinent in the way it addresses stress management in terms of what a person should do to let off steam and destress. We should emphasise that sometimes stress is not caused by too much work, but rather by the management style itself. If the staff are not valued, if there is no job recognition , an atmosphere of hostility and suspicion will reign at the workplace.

On the whole this paragraph is good. It has well summarised the benefits of planning ahead. However, a few words should be added to talk about contingency planning, which is an important aspect of planning ahead. Planning is not only about getting ready for the future, it is also about predicting possible setbacks and potential issues with the appropriate remedy for each one.
