Balancing Work, Life and Stress

Sometimes we just need to schedule time to talk about how we can create our most effective blended work, family, community and individual lives. Today, three of my colleagues and I spent time pondering how best to balance work, life and stress, in anticipation of an event on Friday.

Some tips include:

  • Focus on gratitude
  • Protect time for self-care
  • Set boundaries between work, family and other activities
  • Create transition time during the commute to move from work/home to self to home/work
  • Establish entry/exit routines to move from work/home and home/work
  • Don't wait for big times - a glass of wine with your spouse after work is special
  • Take time for daily devotional, exercise or other super start to the day
  • Communicate clearly and compassionately 
  • Agree to roles and responsibilities
