When you look at normal work life balance tips, the normal advice centres around three things:
1. Delegating activity
2. Eliminating activity
3. Doing what you do better.
In fact, my business revolves around showing how to do what you do better.
There are also a few simple things that you can do which make a big difference using a more holistic approach. Your mental attitude, feeling a sense of happiness can often make you physically healthier, more energetic, more productive.
• 1. Plan Your Big Three
Take 5 minutes every day to plan your top 3 most important tasks to finish for the day. See your day in a big picture way.
• 2. Schedule A Break
Pick a time when you pick yourself up and walk away. Use this time to go for a walk outside for example. Just get your body moving
• 3. Think About What You're Grateful For
Nothing breeds balance like gratitude. A few minutes of thinking about what you are grateful for each day can make you a happier person.
• 4. Think of What's Important
Like expressing gratitude, remembering what is most important to you will help to keep your life balanced. Take a few minutes every day and think about what motivates you. It will make your work easier to do, and your home easier to come back to.
