How do you keep a healthy work-life balance? The bitter truth is, you probably won't. But, projects get done, go live and end. Everyone gets occasional heavy workloads. It's fine. Test yourself. Crack on, don't panic, do a great job. It will pass. It can be fun, satisfying and rewarding. You generally agree to deadlines prior to starting the project, so if you're in a fizz, it's generally (or at least partly) your fault. Learn: When new work comes in, try and space things out a little more, ask for a little more time —?often, no one dies if the design work arrives 3 days later. If you're working late every night and every weekend and your kids have forgotten what you look like, you're probably being a bit rubbish at planning, not designing.

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance while juggling multiple design projects is essential for long-term success. I set strict boundaries by designating specific work hours and personal time to prevent burnout. Organizing my tasks with tools like Trello helps me prioritize effectively and stay on top of deadlines. Additionally, I communicate regularly with stakeholders to keep them informed of my progress, which helps manage expectations and reduces stress. This balanced approach allows me to deliver quality work without sacrificing my personal time.

I set clear priorities for each project and create a realistic schedule that allows for breaks. Staying organized helps me focus on tasks without becoming overwhelmed. I put my phone on DND sometimes. Most importantly, I set boundaries to ensure personal time is protected, keeping me energized and creative.

Juggling multiple design projects with tight deadlines can make maintaining a healthy work-life balance difficult, but it’s essential for long-term success. Prioritize tasks by setting clear boundaries and creating a well-organized schedule, allotting specific time for work and personal activities. Break projects into smaller tasks to avoid feeling overwhelmed, and don’t be afraid to delegate when necessary. Make sure to take regular breaks, exercise, and unwind to recharge your energy and creativity. By managing your time effectively and setting realistic expectations, you can maintain both productivity and a balanced lifestyle.

Follow your intuitive flow. I work creatively from my feminine intuition. Everything just flows. I tend to not work to deadlines…usually just allow the unfolding
