Seven Smart Tips For Better Work/Life Balance...
Dear Reader,
It's what we all want... enough time to spend with the people (or activities) that matter most to us, and an acceptable level of work to meet our financial and ego needs. A balance between the two is a hard-won goal, one that very few working adults are able to achieve... especially in an economy where layoffs at work threaten everyone's security. Slowing down doesn't seem to be an option.
But, being all work and no play has some serious consequences. First, and most dangerous is fatigue... sapping your ability to work productively and think clearly... not what you need for ideal work performance. You also lose out on time with friends and family, which leaves you feeling left out, lonely and might do some lasting harm to these important relationships in the process.
It doesn't have to be that way - we can have a more even work/rest-of-our-lives balance by employing these seven smart tips.
1. A little goes a long way: so don't get overwhelmed thinking you need to make big changes to bring more balance to your schedule. Take 10 to 15 minutes for something that's relaxing... a bath, reading, a nice walk, listening to your favorite music... anything that takes you mind away from work. Experts like psychologist Robert Brooks, PhD, recommend that you set realistic goals - start by planning to leave the office early one night each week and then slowly build more activities into your schedule, things that are important to you.
2. Schedule time for things you love: so that every week, you make it a point to plan time with your family, friends or engaged in hobbies or other activities that recharge you. Even an hour or two is enough. What's more, by putting these things right on your calendar you have something to look forward to, and an incentive to get things done for work so that you won't have to cancel.
3. Drop activities that sap your time/energy: take stock of the activities in your life today that really aren't enhancing your career or personal life and work to minimize the time you spend on them. Decide what's necessary and what you don't enjoy, can't handle. While it may be difficult to say "no" at first, with practice it gets easier. If you're struggling, remember it's your time to spend how you choose... not how others (not matter how well intentioned or dedicated they may be) choose for you. Do what needs to be done, and leave the rest.
4. Cut time wasters at work: which means limit the amount of time you spend during the workday on social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc), making personal calls, sending emails or checking your bank balances. These are time wasters that no on thinks about, but can make your workdays longer than they really need to be.

5. Take advantage of scheduling options: ask about flex hours,
a compressed workweek, job sharing or telecommuting, as this will give you an
increased sense of control over your working hours.
6. Don't let routine errands run you: consider outsourcing the
most routine errands where you can. Order groceries online... hire a neighborhood
kid/retiree to mow your lawn... have dry cleaning picked up/delivered... order
stamps online so you avoid the post office. You might try organizing errands
in batches. Consider trading services with friends - yard work for babysitting,
for example. Even if money's tight, you'll find the time you save by automating
some errands to be well worth the investment.
7. Nurture yourself: by eating well, getting enough sleep and
being active. Regular exercise, according to the experts, can actually help you
get more done by giving you energy and a better ability to concentrate. Just
like other activities you do for yourself, schedule this in... get up early,
skip weekend lie ins, whatever you need to do to make being active a part of
your life will help.
It's also important for you to leave work at work. Even though technology means
we can always be connected, this also often means no boundary between work and
home, unless you create one yourself. Make a conscious effort to turn off the
cell phone, shut down the computer for family time.
Remember, maintaining a healthy work/life balance is a continuous process that
will change as your family, interests and work situation change. Keep at it.
To your good health,
