1 Assess your priorities

Before you start working on a deadline, you need to assess your priorities and expectations. What is the scope, quality, and impact of the project? How much time and energy can you realistically devote to it? What are the consequences of missing or extending the deadline? By answering these questions, you can clarify your objectives and set realistic standards for yourself and others. You can also communicate your needs and preferences to your manager, colleagues, or clients, and negotiate for more resources, support, or flexibility if possible.

2 Plan your schedule

Once you have defined your priorities, you need to plan your schedule and organize your tasks. Break down the project into smaller and manageable steps, and assign a deadline and a priority level for each one. Use a calendar, a planner, or a software tool to keep track of your progress and deadlines. Allocate enough time for each task, and include some buffer time for unexpected delays or changes. Avoid multitasking, procrastination, and distractions, and focus on one task at a time. If you need help, delegate or outsource some tasks to others who can assist you.

As you are planning your schedule be sure to include micro breaks. Even short breaks of 5 minutes allows your brain to recovery. Increasing your focus when you get back to one task. During these micro breaks go for a short walk, stretch, or have a healthy snack. Get up from your workspace for that time.

3 Manage your stress

During a deadline, you may experience high levels of stress and anxiety, which can affect your performance and well-being. To manage your stress, you need to take care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Physically, you need to get enough sleep, eat well, exercise regularly, and avoid caffeine, alcohol, or drugs. Mentally, you need to challenge negative thoughts, practice positive affirmations, and use relaxation techniques such as breathing, meditation, or yoga. Emotionally, you need to express your feelings, seek support from others, and engage in activities that make you happy.

4 Reward yourself

After a deadline, you need to reward yourself for your hard work and achievements. You can celebrate by treating yourself to something you enjoy, such as a meal, a movie, a massage, or a vacation. You can also acknowledge your strengths, skills, and learnings from the project, and appreciate the feedback and recognition you receive from others. Rewarding yourself can boost your motivation, confidence, and satisfaction, and help you recover from the stress and fatigue of the deadline.

5 Evaluate your experience

Finally, you need to evaluate your experience and learn from it. You can review the project and identify what went well and what went wrong, and what you can improve or change for the next time. You can also ask for feedback from your manager, colleagues, or clients, and listen to their suggestions and criticisms. Evaluating your experience can help you improve your skills, performance, and relationships, and prevent the same mistakes or problems from happening again.

It’s not about tools and technologies which make work life imbalance but mainly the policies and choices which are practically in place. 1. Employees working beyond 8 hours makes them less efficient and less creative, and can’t be their best 2. Employees being forced to work beyond their time zones, in a long run leads to fatigue 3. Employees who don’t get proper breaks, who are always in back to back meetings become stressful 4. Working on weekends forcefully will become toxic and less family time impacts their mental health 5. When there are limited scope of taking regular leaves or holidays, potentially make them zombies and often sick Employers having healthy and holistic environment does bring significant work life balance impact.
