5 Tips for a Work-Life Balance:
Work Is Not the Enemy of Life!
Why should work and life always be on opposite sides of some great cosmic balance? Chasing a work-life balance implies that somehow work is the enemy of life. Work is a part of life. Work is responsible for much of what we have in life. Work isn't the enemy of life, it is the engine.
If you want more time for life, you need to make sure that engine is running as efficiently as possible. But trying to parcel out amounts of time is wasted energy. Understand that how you spend your time is more important than on which side of some invisible balance it should be weighed.
Here are some tips to help you rethink the work-life balance:
  1. Chase Purpose: If you can fire up your enthusiasm for what you are doing, it is not so difficult to see your work as a part of your life. It should be something you are proud of. Seek out opportunities that drive your enthusiasm. If you are passionate about your work, that passion will be reflected in your life.
  2. Unplug: Find some time during the week when everyone at home can do something together without the distraction of phones, tablets, TVs, and video games. Try to make some real memories.
  3. Plan for Success: Think about it in terms of work, family, community, and personal life. A perfectly running engine still needs a destination or you are just spinning wheels. Once you know where there is, you will be better prepared for the journey.
  4. Control Your Calendar: You are the only one responsible for how you spend your time. Everyone has obligations, but it is up to you to prioritize and control your calendar. Master that skill and you have mastered your calendar.
  5. Plan Your Day: If you know what your priorities are, then when something unexpected comes along, you are better prepared to deal with it. Ask yourself, "Will this matter in a year?" If not, then maybe it can wait while you work on something more important.
Concentrate on making the most of the time available. If you are efficient, plan ahead, and take control of your time, you will discover that there is more than enough to attain your goals and enjoy a purposeful and fulfilling life.
