In this blog, we will find out some interesting tips to balance work and life altogether, which might be beneficial for a better life and work culture.?

• MANAGING YOUR TIME: Before beginning your day, ask yourself, ‘What are the most important tasks I have to do?’ Prepare a list of self questions that will help you organize your tasks for the day. For example, if there is something on your list which has no specific deadline, then that task can be done on some other day. You don’t have to force or over-exert yourself in finishing that task on the same day. By doing this, you will feel relaxed and calm. You will find it easy to take out time for your own self and enjoy your ‘ME TIME!’?
• LOOK OUT FOR GREEN TICKS: An interesting way to balance your work and life is by making a list of the things you are about to do in a day. Mention even the silliest daily chores on that paper, and after finishing that task, make a habit of making a tick with a green color pen. When you will see those frequent ticks, you will feel accomplished from within. You will notice that unintentionally, your workload is reduced to half. The magic of green color leaves a healthy impression on your brain.?
• DON’T NEGLECT YOUR MENTAL PEACE: Being in constant touch with laptops and mobile can often lead to severe hypertension and stress disorders. During your work or Zoom meetings, don’t forget about your biggest priority, and that is your mental health. Remember Simon Biles? She took a break from the “OLYMPICS” to prioritize her mental health. She set an applaudable example for all of us. Work is important but not more than your mental peace. Always make a room for your mental peace.?
• DON’T BE AFRAID TO TAKE A BREAK: Even studies have shown that taking a power nap in the afternoon or a short break between your work helps in boosting your confidence and sharpening your creativity. You will automatically find yourself charged and enthusiastic about your work. You will be more focused, and tasks will not be troublesome for you. You can either watch any Instagram Reel, a short video, or any other entertaining stuff which will calm your mind.??
• LEARN TO SAY NO: Nobody will tell you this, but sometimes saying no is the best thing you can do! You are aware of your strengths and mental capacity, and if that barrier is exceeded, then it creates a problem. Practice saying no to things that are beyond your limits. Don’t be harsh on yourself and respect your mental sanity. Respect your own boundaries, and don’t push yourself too much. You are allowed to hustle for your dreams, but don’t sabotage your happiness.?
