WORK-LIFE BALANCE

“Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life”- Dolly Porton.

The term "work-life balance" refers to giving equal importance to your personal and professional lives to live a healthy and fulfilling life. You can manage your work responsibilities while making time for personal pursuits like hobbies, family time, socializing, and self-care when you achieve a work-life balance.

When work demands more of your time or attention, you will have less time to handle your other responsibilities or passions.

There are several benefits of maintaining a healthy work-life balance,?including your physical, emotional, and mental health (overall well-being), reduced stress and burnout, increased productivity and job satisfaction, and better relationships with friends and family.

You get to determine your priorities, whether they're related to your work or personal life.

Some examples include:

• ?A stay-at-home parent who works while their baby is sleeping;
• A lawyer who deliberately unplugs when on vacation;
• A new employee who devotes additional time to tasks and responsibilities;
• A manager who establishes boundaries regarding communication and will not respond to emails after six o'clock in the evening;
• An employee who designs their schedule to work certain days so that they can take care of their elderly parents on other days.

The following are some pointers that you can use to improve your work-life balance:

1.??????Prioritize tasks and establish attainable goals.

2.??????Learn to delegate tasks and say no when necessary.

3.??????Make personal pursuits a priority in your schedule.

4.??????Pause working during personal time.

5.??????Take care of yourself and put your mental and physical health first.

6.??????Put down stopping points between work and individual life.

7.??????Get help from family, friends, and coworkers.

8.??????Make any necessary adjustments to your work-life balance on a regular basis.

Remember, accomplishing a balance between fun and serious activities is a persistent cycle that requires exertion and responsibility. Prioritize the things in your life that matter most to you and strike a balance that works for you.
