It is possible to actually create a system for ourselves so that we can commit more time to the things that we love to do. Read to know more....
Have you recently experienced a feeling of wanting to spend more time with yourself and/or with your family? Maybe you feel like connecting with yourself at a deeper level and serving a different purpose.
An increasing realization is dawning upon us as we strive for happiness in whatever we do. It is possible today to succeed in any profession. If your current job/ employer is not allowing you to create a health work-life fit its probably time to quit.
But before taking that step, lets figure out how we can actually create work-life fit. Work-life fit is all about planning and arranging for day-to-day activities in a manner by which you can commit a bare-minimum fixed amount of time for yourself – EVERYDAY. You can do that, even if you think you have crazy travel hours. What is most important that while you recognize the need for it, not doing anything about it can get really frustrating?
Here is a simple technique that can help you create work-life balance in your life:
1. Decide on how much time you want to be able to commit to yourself on a daily basis (1 hour/ 2 hours/ 4 hours)
2. List down your daily tasks (including travel time and time for grocery shopping, etc.)
3. Note down the time taken for each task
4. Now arrange your tasks in a manner that you are able to squeeze out time for yourself
5. This is the step where you decide to check for any redundant activities that may have been wasting your time and remove them from the list
6. Reorganize your list to manage time for yourself
7. Feed this list as a note in your mobile phone as a constant reminder for you and make a genuine attempt to follow it on a daily basis
Very soon, you will realize that slowly and steadily, you have been able to achieve that work-life balance for yourself.
You could even hire a life coach to help you bring about that balance in your work life and ignite joy in your life.
Let me know how you fair on this or if you require additional information to implement this.
All the best!
