What do you do if you're struggling to balance work and personal life as an executive?

"If you’re finding it difficult to balance professional and personal life, begin by reevaluating your priorities. Scrutinize your task list: differentiate between what must be done now and what can be delegated or delayed. This prioritization helps you concentrate on essential activities at work while preserving precious time for your personal life. Remember, busyness does not equate to productivity. Focus on impactful tasks, and you’ll enhance your efficiency, accomplish more with less effort, and alleviate the stress of feeling stretched too thin."

We need to do the 20% that truly matters toward our big goal. Prioritizing what only we can do and delegating the rest. Focus on your health so you can give the goals all of your attention and sort out what will make a difference.

Saying no can be a superpower! As a leader, we need to make quick decisions on what we need to do and what we need to delegate. With finite time, we can only accomplish so much in a day. Make boundaries solid so all of your interactions with others are consistent. You will gain respect when your boundaries are non-negotiable.

All wonderful advice. Unrealistic in today's corporate run world, but probably, (may be) possible if you are running your own show and financially independent. There are way too many "stakeholders" in the corporate world that will remove any person that does not "live" for the company, I am living proof, lowered my hours from 14-16 a day to 10, and did a complete shutdown on Sundays to recharge and amazingly enough, even though my duties were all up to date and my boss said I was doing a "stellar" job, my executive position was "eliminated" they changed the title, lowered the pay and now have an inexperienced (read younger) person in place that will work the 100+ hours they demand. All that matters is the bottom line and the bonus/ dividend

There's nothing more important than the loved ones that we have at home and our mental well-being and happiness. We all find ourselves fully devoted to our corporate life. The solution that I have found is to recognize when there is an imbalance and take a timeout. It doesn't have to be an extravagant vacation it can simply be taking off an hour early knowing that every day you finish the day and there was still stuff that could have been done that will be there tomorrow and going home early to enjoy all of the people and reasons why you work so hard day in and day out.
