How can I manage my professional life with my personal life?

Hi,

This is a very difficult balance to achieve. Here are some tips to help you get that delicate balance:

1. Figure Out What Really Matters to You in Life The important point here is to figure out what you want your priorities to be, not what you think they should be.

2. Drop Unnecessary Activities By making a concrete list of what really matters to you, you may discover you’re devoting too much time to activities that aren’t a priority, and you can adjust your schedule accordingly.

3. Protect Your Private Time If work consistently interferes with your personal time, Hobfoll recommends discussing some adjustments with your boss. If you’re your own boss, it’s up to you to create boundaries that keep work from intruding on family time.

4. Accept Help to Balance Your Life Allow yourself to rely on your partner, family members, or friends – anyone who can watch the kids or run an errand while you focus on other top priorities.

5. Plan Fun and Relaxation Until you get into the habit of taking time for yourself, set aside space in your planner for relaxation and fun.

Hope this helps!
