What is work-life balance?
Work-life balance means maintaining a balance between your work and personal life. Its purpose is to see how you can find time for your personal life even after work. How can you give equal time to your family, friends and yourself?
Challenges of Work-Life Balance for Working Women Working women consider themselves multi-taskers and try to handle household responsibilities and office work single-handedly. Women try to give their best in every work. But this is not easy to do. To prove themselves everywhere, women sometimes ignore their health related problems.
How important is work-life balance? Maintaining a work-life balance is not only important for our health and relationships, but it is equally important for our work productivity. The most important thing for this is to share the responsibility of all the work instead of taking it yourself. Also determine your priorities.
First of all, proper planning of the day is essential It is very important for you to make sure that you plan your entire day properly. Time management is essential for this. The first condition of time management is that instead of wasting time, you should focus on where and how much time you should spend. Make a plan in advance for everything from food and drink to children's routine and finishing work after reaching office.
Also hand over the responsibility of the house to the husband and children Remember, you are human too and get tired. You need rest too. So, don't burden yourself with all the work. Assign the responsibility of household chores to your husband and children too. Let them know that you can't handle everything alone and that you need help. Make them feel responsible.
Determine priorities and needs Balancing home and office isn't easy, but it can be easier if you set your priorities straight. It should not happen that you do not prioritize what is important and waste time unnecessarily on unnecessary things. For example, if the office has been given some new projects and everything is fine at home, prioritize the office. But if your needs are more at home, take a few days off from office and do household work first.
Don't neglect your health Many times, women completely forget themselves in the busyness of family and office. They neither care about food nor pay attention to their health. But taking care of health is most important. No matter how busy your schedule is, make time for your health.
Take some time for yourself It is very important that you take time for yourself. Whether it's half an hour or an hour, this time should be yours alone. At that time, think of no one but yourself. Do what feels good. It will give you happiness.
Don't bring office work homeThis is also the basic mantra for a happy life, never take home work to office, act like a professional and never take office work home. Complete all office work there and come back.
