Work Life Balance

Work Life Balance

Today I want to talk about the topic which is very important in everyone's lives, the Work Life Balance. Do you also feel tired in corporate world's 9-5 job? Many of the people will say 'Yes' and its True. According to the survey conducted by Harvard Bussiness School, approx 95% of people accepted working more than their usual working hours.

Sometimes I think world was the better place before the Technology came. After Revolution of Technology, we are glued to the screens for most of the time in the day. Think upon how much time you are away from the screen in a day! The only time when we sleep. Working continuously decreases the social time. Man is a social animal, the more he interacts with other people, the more happier life becomes. Its rightly said All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Recreational Activities increase the concentration and sharpness of mind.

Here are some of the tips which can be implemented as an individual to maintain work-life balance.

  • Invest time in Yoga or Meditation as this helps in improving the calmness of mind.

  • Invest time in Hobby which can be anything like learning musical instrument, reading books, playing tennis and many more.

  • Try to have the meal with family for atleast 2 times a day.

  • Participate in get-togethers of family and friends.

  • Go on long drives or walk to somewhere where you have never been before. This will improve your self-esteem.

  • Start decreasing your screen time, start by decreasing at speed of 15 mins a day.

  • Sleep for minimum 8 hours a day as sound sleep is the ultimate mantra for healthy life style.

Moving on to the tips which can be implemented at Workplace.

  • Talk to atleast one new person daily in your workplace.

  • Participate in the fun activities/outings which are conducted in the workplace.

  • Help others and take help from others.
