Running a successful startup means giving up weekends and vacation time! Sometimes you never get the time to go on a vacation, if you’re busy with your startup business. During the early stages of your startup ; it’s very important to concentrate and plan even on the minute details of the same. But then remember that it’s very important to have a work life balance. Sometimes it feels good for your soul to take mini vacays and it also refreshes your soul and mind. Vacations also boosts your thoughts and mindset. PS - Happy to have gone on a beach vacay, last week.????? It has boosted my energy and thinking capabilities. How often do you take your weekends off or go on a vacation? #business #motivation #startup #worklifebalance #entrepreneur #leadership

#1 reason why I work at PRIDE Health, balance between work and personal life. It's my daughter's birthday today and not only did #bestboss, Tim Tobin, remember it, he's warned me that IT will shut down my access if I do not leave early and pick her up from school. #whyiphc #worklifebalance #grateful

Around 3.5 years ago, I relocated to Goa.? My physical and mental health were both at a breaking point.? And I needed a fresh start.? Today, most people look at my life with envy and say -- you have the dream life.? And I agree. I live in a beautiful house with miles of forest around me. I'm five minutes from a breathtaking, non-touristy beach.? I have 3 amazing dogs and a cat whose personality I wish I had 1/10th of. I have a community of loving, supportive friends.? And my physical and mental health has never been better.? But was moving to Goa the reason this happened?? Not really.? The beach and the greenery and the open-minded people helped.? But moving to Goa or to the Himalayas or to Ibiza is not a silver bullet. In the last 3 years, I have very aggressively put my emotional well-being first.? And I’ve said no to many many things in the process --? more money, a high-powered career, society’s expectations, and my own old patterns of thinking.? And the journey hasn’t been smooth — there have been, and continue to be, many failures and derailments.? The truth is that real, sustainable change doesn't come from the ocean or the mountains. ? It comes from our commitment to pursue happiness --- even if it comes at a price. *** For my personal journey, follow me on Instagram @sukhsamriddhi

#teamculture As a young #management #consultant, I was living and working in the UK. Planned a two-week trip to Europe with my wife. Not a single phone call from my boss or team (consisting of Spanish, British, Scottish, Danish, Indian). In the two years I lived in the UK, I took several breaks with long weekends or otherwise. Not a single phone call from my #boss or #team. I lived and worked in India for the longest part of my corporate career (12+ years). Most of my bosses and team members did call me and discussed work when I was on holiday. My UK stint shaped my mindset of what kind of leader I want to become. Later in various leadership roles, whenever a team member went on holiday, I asked the rest of the team not to call or disturb them. Plan for anything they need and not when the person is on leave. "As a leader, you always have a choice to do things in a way which helps build a positive culture. Also, respecting the personal lives of your team member is your responsibility". #transformahead #holiday #leadership #culture #workenviroment transformahead.com

Here are some interesting things that I am doing/will do:- 1) Homeschooling my kid. 2) Not buying a house. 3) If I buy it, it has to be a really good property in Goa. This way, my wife and I can rent it out on AirBnb when we travel. 4) Not looking to raise any money for any of my startups. Happy being small. 5) Follow my passion: swim & sing more (one more reason why I'd love to move to Goa, so that I can have a private pool). 6) Do 1 ambitious thing: wanted to be a published author, just signed a book deal. Hopefully, my book will be out in the next 8 months. 7) Live across at least 10 more countries by the time I am 40. Why am I telling you all this? So that you don't get scared while making some contrarian decisions. PS: If you know any good properties/realtors in Goa, do message me :)

When was the last time you spent quality time with your family? If you can’t recall, it’s time you make some time for them.?#FindTheBalance #motivation #mindfulness #wellness #healthy #mentalhealth #worklifebalance #quality

When we choose to be aligned to the present moment, it offers us a balanced clarity than we can ever imagine. What are some of the things you do to savour the 'present' that's right now available for you? I choose art. It allows me to explore intuitively and is a window to witness my own self. Being a content marketer, I am currently exploring creation of art-based content and it's engagement on social media.

Never imagined how things around us will change like this! While my husband ensures continued supply of water, food & love at my seat! My other co-worker feeds me chocolates so that I can play Uno with him for sometime. Reminding me to look outside the screen. That's my nephew making sure I find the balance. How are you finding it? #Findthebalance

#worklifebalance Everyone is talking about this nowadays, especially when the pandemic disappeared the line between personal and professional lives.? But when it comes to entrepreneurs, the notion is to work extra hours, put in extra effort, and always hustle without a stop.? Even I had the fear that if I put in less time, my business would fail.? But this lifestyle often results in burnout and less productivity!? So,? What next?? I am sharing a routine that's helping me #findthebalance. ?? Maintain a routine, not just for your work but your whole day. Set a schedule for everything you do, from activities that add value to your life to family time to getting all your job done.? ?? It is okay to take a break and indulge in activities that help you rejuvenate.? ?? Digital detox is necessary. Turn your smartphone off or keep it away! I try and keep my phone aside for over 5 hours during the weekend.? ?? Try and learn something new. Maybe a new language or a new skill to upskill yourself.? ?? Most importantly, reward yourself. Whenever you achieve something small or big, do something that enhances your happiness.? #worklife #worklifeintegration #mentalhealth #workathome #workculture
