Work / Life Balance

This is a term that is gaining in popularity and for good reason. Work is important and your career is something that you take seriously. That's good. Home is important and your family matters very much. Now, how do we balance these two really important facets of our life? Here are a some ideas:

Don't overbook yourself. Schedules often get rearranged and things rarely go down as planned. Don't try to cram too much into your schedule.

Prioritize: Ensure that the critical things get done and don't sweat the less important things.

Try to separate: Do your best to leave work at work, and when you're home, be home. This is difficult especially if you sometimes work from home. If you had a bad day, don't take it out on the family.

The key is to manage your time well, which at times is a real struggle. Do your best and know it won't always be perfect.
