You’re struggling to find time for yourself and your work. How can you balance both?

I think a good first step when balancing your time and energy is to take inventory of your priorities, goals, and efforts. Figure out how much effort is spent on things that are priorities and important to you. You can easily apply the Pareto’s Principle in this scenario. The principle states that 20% of your efforts results in 80% of your outcomes, we look at this principle in the context of inputs (20%) and outputs (80%). So, if we apply this in a work/life balance context, identify what is the top 20% of your priorities and goals within your personal and professional life. Spend 80% of your focus there, and drastically reduce your time spent on everything else.

Many people struggle with balancing personal time and work. In fact, one of the most frequent questions that interviewees ask is how the employer creates a space for work-life balance. My advice, start by using time-blocking. Everyday I time-block my sleep, workout, lunch times, and impromptu prayer time (I know how impromptu is it if I blocked the time), massages, manis and pedis, hair appointments, church and then I time-block in all of the work projects I need to accomplish. Whatever the personal things in your life are, you need to schedule them into your calendar (and share as needed with those who need to know). One of my mentors years ago told me "If it isn't on the list it doesn't get done". I've replaced "list" with "calendar".

Em minha experiência, tenho percebido que análise das situa??es s?o fundamentais para a compreens?o dos cenários e seus diagnósticos definitivos.

Planejamento e gest?o de prioridades s?o fundamentais, evidentemente que a filosofia SMART naturalmente favorece este trabalho e fundamental tanto na teoria quanto na prática.

I told a friend recently, every time you say no to someone or something, you create a yes for yourself. Many people are afraid to say no in a professional setting but failure to do so only creates unrealistic expectations and stress for all involved. Learning to tell friends, family and the job NO when it is appropriate is the fastest way to set a boundary and the ROI is exceptional. If you aren't used to saying no, people will be upset at first but eventually they will get used to the idea that your time is being used outside of the narrow scope they've once been programmed to believe. Communicating your needs in any of these relationships will also open the door to meaningful conversations about the needs of those you engage as well.

Comunica??o é a alma do negócio, estabelecer uma rede segura e transparente de comunica??o assegurará o sucesso da equipe e a mobiliza??o necessária de todos os membros envolvidos.

Gest?o da delega??o é um elemento fundamento do gerenciamento da rotina do trabalho do dia a dia. N?o deve ser algo específico, é necessário que seja uma filosofia de gest?o prática.

Tenho dito com frequência que aprender requer cultura e filosofia de aluno professor em cadeias horizontais de aprendizagem, isso exige esfor?o e busca maior.

As you learn and grow in your profession, you should develop more efficient ways to complete your projects. Many industries are presently using AI to streamline aspects of their projects to expedite the process to completion and maximize client satisfaction and profitability. Personally, I've used AI to save time in my research and gathering info stages of a project. As a professional, it is important to use any and all of the tools available to you to not only increase your efficiency but maximize your versatility as an employee (but more importantly in your industry). This willingness to procure a new skill is another great way to create more time for rest and relief while also demonstrating your expertise as a professional in your field.

I love relaxation. I have a reputation that I never sleep but I couldn't have done everything that I've managed to in such a short time without prioritizing rest. Admittedly, my rest pattern is different because it's usually done asynchronously but it's great. I enjoy weekly massages, I sleep about 12-15 hours on my days off, I spend time just doing nothing...in fact my calendar has blocked time off that just said "chill". I take 12-48 hour breaks from my devices (and I don't always automate my social media). These are just a few things I do personally. You have to schedule time to do the things that give you energy to be your best with others, whether its family, friends or the job. What are some great ways to relax and recharge?
