1 Set Expectations

Right from the project's inception, be transparent with your team about your availability. Clearly communicate your working hours and the times you will be offline. Encourage team members to respect these boundaries and avoid sending work-related communications outside of these hours. This not only sets a precedent for your own work-life balance but also models healthy behavior for your team. Remember, it's about quality, not quantity; being well-rested and focused during working hours will lead to more productive and efficient work.

Remember to set expectations at the project initiation meeting about when each team member will be available outside regular work hours. Please keep track of everyone's availability on their phones. For global teams, convert members' availability (regular work) hours in different countries to your time zone. Kee[ing every member's available hours in your time zone will help prevent you from accidentally contacting global team members during their non-availability hours.

2 Use Technology

Leverage technology to reinforce your boundaries. Utilize features like "Do Not Disturb" modes on communication platforms or set up automatic email replies to inform senders when you are out of office. These tools can help manage expectations and reduce the pressure to respond immediately when you are off the clock. Moreover, by using project management software effectively, you can streamline workflows and keep track of progress without having to check in constantly.

The work-life balance increases productivity at work and harmony at home. It is very important for the millennial and Zen Z generations, who may be in the early stages of family life. I suggest getting two phones, one for work and another for family and friends. Please don't add your work email to your personal phone and your personal email to your work phone. Ensure you use the Do Not Disturb feature or sleep mode on your work phone whenever you do not want work-related calls. Similarly, keep your work phone number private from your friends. You should only provide your work phone number to your immediate family so they can contact you in an emergency.

3 Delegate Tasks

Delegation is key in software project management. Trust your team's capabilities and delegate tasks appropriately. This empowers team members, fosters a sense of ownership, and reduces the burden on you to manage every detail. By distributing responsibilities, you can focus on critical tasks and strategic planning, which can often be done within a regular workday, thus protecting your personal time from being consumed by operational issues.

4 Encourage Breaks

Promote a team culture that values breaks and downtime. Encourage your team to take regular breaks throughout the day and to fully disconnect during their time off. This not only benefits their well-being but also leads to more creativity and productivity when they are working. As a project manager, leading by example is powerful; take your breaks and respect others' breaks to reinforce this healthy practice.

5 Prioritize Health

Your health should always take precedence. Make it clear to your team that personal health, including mental health, is a valid reason for taking time off. By prioritizing health, you create an environment where team members feel supported in managing stress and avoiding burnout. This approach not only benefits individual team members but also contributes to the sustainability and success of the entire project.

As a software engineer, it’s important to prioritize taking breaks and practicing self-care to maintain work-life balance. This entails scheduling regular breaks throughout the workday and engaging in activities that promote relaxation and wellness. It’s also essential to prioritize your physical and mental health through exercise, healthy eating, and getting enough sleep. Regular exercise can help reduce stress and improve mood, while a balanced diet and adequate sleep can boost energy levels and cognitive function.

6 Communicate Openly

Open communication is the foundation of any good team. Regularly check in with your team members about their workload and well-being. This dialogue can help identify any issues with work-life balance early on and allow for adjustments before they become problems. Being proactive in communication demonstrates that you value both the project's success and your team's personal well-being.

Suggesting others on work life balance is very easy. Implementing the same will be a task one should start and cultivate as a habit, from very early years of the career. Have some positive & inspiring habit/routine which will help one to avoid from becoming a workaholic, at the same time, one should be flexible enough to take challenges when the team/organization needs. Not all days will be same, and one should be ready to embrace this.
