Balancing life and work

    A lot of people talk about wanting more balance and flexibility in their work and in their lives, about wanting to achieve “work/life” balance. Work isn't something you do when you’re not living your life. It’s just as much a part of your life as family time or play. You get to choose what matters most to you, and how much attention you wish to give to each area of your life first, second, and so on. If you don't have much control over the hours you have to work, you can ask yourself, "In what other ways am I bringing greater enjoyment into my life?" Also, keep the lines of communication open, listen when someone tells you that you're working too much. Identify and eliminate activities that are time-wasters or energy-busters, and cut them out. That can help your mind and body cope with the demands of your job. It is important to make a good schedule, and to keep to it. Take things as they come, reflect on your accomplishments and feel proud. Be creative in thinking how routine tasks can be completed differently.

  • "Work" is just part of life, not the whole life, so we need to smell the flowers from time to time.
