Tips to Achieve Work-Life Balance

October 2004

I am pleased to send to you the October issue of Champions, It's All About Balance. Most of us struggle with creating or maintaining an acceptable Work-Life balance. The ten tips that follow come from the July 2004 issue of Training and Development magazine.

Tips to Achieve Work-Life Balance

1. Have both short and long-term goals and work towards achieving them.
2. Use these goals to prioritize your activities. Take care of the most pressing tasks first and know when to call it quits for the day.
3. Ask others for help. Find a mentor.
4. Know your limits. Work smarter not harder or longer.
5. Volunteer at something that gives back to others and gives you pleasure and/or satisfaction.
6. Don't do it all, ask for help when you need it.
7. Surround yourself with nutritious people. Negative people drain your energy.
8. Take the time required to be effective in your communication with others.
9. Work on projects that have a beginning and an end. Gain closure.
10. Make sure the human processes are in place before trying to use technology to solve problems.
