1 Identify Passions

Start by taking stock of what excites you outside work. Whether it's a hobby, a subject you love to study, or a cause you're passionate about, recognizing these interests is the first step toward integrating them into your career. Reflect on how these passions can complement your job. Perhaps your love for technology could lead to a role in IT , or your weekend baking could translate into expertise in the food industry . The key is to find intersections where your personal interests can enhance your professional life.

Being actively involved as a practitioner researcher allows for an expansive space whereby one may be fully immersed in the research instead of being a detached academic. Practitioner research is similar to other kinds of research in that it is designed to generate new knowledge, but it typically occurs in a professional context where practice is expected to be ‘evidence-based,’ and the research itself is embedded within a professional practice in the ways purely academic research is not. It is thus hugely rewarding and situates itself at the nexus of personal practice and research which may bring forth more equilibrium on a work-life balance sphere by lending more purpose and meaningful contribution.

When you’re doing something you enjoy, it feels less like an obligation. I have found that when you’re working on something you’re passionate about, you’re more motivated and productive. For example, when I was preparing my PhD dissertation proposal, I selected a topic that I was passionate about. Because of this, I am often excited about whatever I find in my research, whether or not the result is what I expected.

2 Research Roles

Once you've pinpointed your interests, use your research skills to find roles that could incorporate them . Look for job descriptions that align with both your skill set and passions. If such positions don't exist in your current workplace, consider the broader industry or even a different field that might offer the blend you're seeking. Networking with professionals who have successfully merged their interests with their careers can provide valuable insights and guidance.

3 Skill Application

Consider how your personal interests have helped you develop skills that are transferable to your career . For example, if you enjoy photography, you've likely honed your attention to detail and creativity —qualities that are beneficial in many professional settings. Document these skills and reflect on how they can be applied or further developed in your career. This can open doors to new opportunities and allow you to advocate for yourself in your current role.

Passions can always be implemented in a career as a transferable skill to equip one with a unique way of adding value to one's role. As an artist in the recruitment industry, I've harnessed creativity to develop innovative communication strategies, adjusting them according to the obstacle. By embracing diverse perspectives, I tend to apply creativity to bring unique perspectives to unlock solutions.

4 Seek Flexibility

In today's dynamic work environment, flexibility is key. Seek out employers or roles that value work-life balance and are open to integrating personal interests into the workplace. This could mean flexible hours that allow for personal pursuits or support for professional development in areas that align with your interests. Approach your current employer with a proposal that outlines how your personal interests could bring value to the company while also enriching your work experience.

5 Create Opportunities

If existing roles don't accommodate your interests, get creative and propose new initiatives. This could involve starting a workplace group related to your interest, suggesting a new project, or even creating a new position. Use your research skills to build a solid case for how these initiatives can benefit the company. This proactive approach not only demonstrates leadership but also shows your commitment to both your personal growth and the organization's success.

6 Maintain Balance

While integrating personal interests into your career can be rewarding, it's important to maintain a clear distinction between work and personal time to avoid burnout. Set boundaries to ensure that your personal interests remain a source of joy and relaxation. Remember, the goal is to enhance your work-life balance , not to turn all your leisure activities into job responsibilities. By keeping this balance, you'll be able to enjoy the best of both worlds.

I would say choose an organization that works on topics close to your heart. Check their website/previous publications, grants recently achieved to know whether you ll enjoy working there or not- once that happens, work doesn't feel burden. To work at your best capability in any profession - you need a passion for the work- then it is easy to keep going in that direction further and stress and you will not feel that burdened perhaps.
