Throughout the day, schedule regular pauses to allow yourself to unwind. Focus and performance can both be strengthened by brief breaks. Make use of this time to do things like work out, meditate, or spend time outside that help you feel calm and at ease. 

Paying attention to your body is crucial when taking breaks. Taking as many pauses as necessary if you’re feeling out mentally exhausted. Adjusting your schedule to better meet your work and life is important, flexibility is critical in the digital world we live in.  


Prioritize Task


Establish an agenda for the things that are most important to you. Leave less important tasks for later and work on finishing tasks that are important during designated work hours. Establishing time slots for things like work, exercise, family time and hobbies. 

You should constantly check how you are spending your time and energy. The importance of this is because your schedule could change over time. Choosing carefully what task and projects you take on, giving priority to those that fit with your goals. 





Limiting Distractions


Reduce distractions during working hours by shutting off unnecessary alerts and setting up a quiet, isolated workplace. Tell your family and friends about your work schedule and ask for their help in reducing disruptions during working hours. 

Calming and molding your brain to not be distracted because it is important to stop yourself from reaching those that are known to be a distraction in the work/life environment.To prevent use of social media sites, apps, or texting, set up designated periods for checking your devices. 


Set Realistic Goals


Be reasonable with yourself when it comes to your workload and results. Resist from over committing and show flexibility by revising deadlines and asking for help when needed. Remembering the goals you have and the benefit of maintaining your work-related focus. 

While keeping a healthy balance is important there may be times when your work requires more of your time. For what you can accomplish in light of your situation, be realistic. When it comes to how much time and work it will take to accomplish the goal, be honest with yourself. 


Ask for Help


Don’t be afraid to ask family, friends and those closest to you for help when you’re feeling stressed. You can gain clarity and find ways to balance work and life by talking about your challenges and asking others for advice. 

Being open builds emotion and understanding, which makes it possible for them to offer specific advice. Talk about your struggles juggling work and life, and ask for their assistance in keeping you accountable.
