Maintaining a good work-life balance is something that most working adults struggle with. Some jobs are too demanding and do not restrict themselves to the average 9 to 5. That can result in a grey area between work and home time. There are a few things you can implement into your life that will hopefully help with maintaining a reasonable work-life balance.
Determine your balance. One of the first things you want to do is decide what your balance should be. Everyone can handle different things and someone who prioritizes their family might have stricter limits than someone who does not. Understanding what you believe to be a good work-life balance will help you to stay committed.
Self-care. Being able to make the distinction between work and home requires you to be at your best both mentally and physically. You can do this by taking a few minutes every day and disconnecting from work, family, social media, etc., and performing some activities that allow you to de-stress.
Evaluate. Understanding what an emergency is will help you navigate the separation between work and home life. Most employees take time out of their personal time to deal with work situations that seem urgent when in reality it can wait. Having a grasp on what you consider an emergency will allow that separation to be more apparent.
Set limits. One of the greatest things you can implement into your life is boundaries. Setting strict limits on the times you will take phone calls and meetings; will help you navigate your work-life balance. Create a voicemail that will let anyone calling you know when the appropriate times are to call and when you are expected to get back to them.
Commit. If you were to implement these practices into your everyday life, you should find that the balance between work and personal life becomes easier. This can only really succeed if you are willing to commit. You should have someone that knows what you are trying to accomplish and can hold you accountable.
