How do you balance life and work?
I often find myself pushed forward by various challenges. When time is tight and work pressure is intense, do you have any good work-life balance suggestions?

Cleaning room on Sunday, a bit of gardening keeps the week days stress on side. Along with that an hour of gym .

@therahulv cleaning, gardening, and working-out! That's a healthy lifestyle man~ My way of dealing with the stress is eating... I gotta learn from you~
I often travel with my family for few days every week or two to different destinations to relax from work.
@vladimir_zivkovic Wow, that's nice~
What bothers me is that even when I go out with my family, I still feel extremely distracted and stressed out. Have you ever experience this kind of problem?
@dot_brand One thing we try to do is always going to a new destinations with plenty of unknown things to discover, and that will keep the mind distracted. But of course there will always be some work ideas going in our minds.
exercise in the early morning before everyone is awake, good breakfast, no emails until after 2hrs I have been awake, shut down cell phone 1 hr before sleep, sleep early
I achieve a balanced life and work by setting clear boundaries, prioritizing my mental and physical health with regular exercise and downtime, utilizing productivity tools to manage my tasks efficiently, and making sure to allocate quality time for my loved ones and hobbies that refresh my spirit.
@josephjack62 I should learn that from you: allocating quality time!
What bothers me is that even when I go out with my family, I still feel extremely distracted and stressed out.
@dot_brand I believe you can start practicing blocking certain thoughts, everytime you catch yourself thinking about work, block that thought, for me that works!
I don't need to seek a balance... I go with the flow with what I want in a given moment. When I feel worky, I work.. When I don't feel worky I don't work.
I establish specific boundaries between work and personal life. Define when the workday starts and ends, and stick to those hours as much as possible. I also avoid bringing work-related tasks into my personal time.
@sakshi_gahlawat May I ask, what do you think about the mindset of "work is life, life is work"? while some people tend to separate the work from life~
Great Discussion! Finding a work-life balance can be quite the challenge, but it's essential for our well-being.
Here are a few suggestions that have worked for me:
1) Prioritize self-care and set aside time for activities you enjoy.
2) Delegate tasks when possible to lighten your workload.
3) Set boundaries and communicate your availability to avoid burnout.
Remember, taking care of ourselves is just as important as our work. Keep up the great work!
When I practice religion it'’s really under controll. If I don’t, I can't balance 🫤
One advice that I got a few years back for this was to NEVER compromise on good food, good sleep, and the value of drinking enough water daily.
Now I'm starting to realize it's not ONE advice, it's THREE 🤣
@alishahlakhani Agreed with you, Ali! Sleep well, eat well, keep your mind strong and healthy are indeed important!
@johanka_kucerova I like the concept of list out ten tasks everyday and only execute the top 20% of them everyday! Minor iterations bring huge success!
I don't track my work-life balance. If I have energy, I work. If I want to have some rest - I take a break. If I feel that I don't have energy to work more than 1-2 days, I understand that I need to change place/picture
Startup always need founders to be more engaged. Working till exact time is not good for startups. Better to track your mood, not working schedule
In short, you must be consistent and create basic to-do lists for your agenda. When it's not determined, you cannot track your progress, and, as a consequence, you can't set limits between work and life.
Well, you can also sleep less so that your family sees you long enough and your work is done 😁
@anatoly5ms Truly! I like the concept of listing out 10 tasks everyday and only execute 20% of them! Thanks for your sharing!
I take some me-time on Sundays to prepare myself for the week. This includes meal preps, cleaning, skincare, and meditation. And during the work day, I make sure to spend at least an hour in the gym, and set boundaries. What happens during 9-5 stays during 9-5.
@priyankapahari Setting boundaries!! It's hard for me though, but I guess it's a lesson I need to learn!
@kanupriya_chhabra1 Thanks for sharing! I actually just begin to practice meditation for 10min everyday; it's not easy though~
Replaced useless activity's with work activity's! For example instead of watching endlessly Instagram reels I go on Product Hunt or Linked In.
