Prioritize what is most important to you in both your job and personal life. Delegate any work tasks that can be done by someone else. Learn to say no to tasks that will throw your career/life balance off. Set boundaries so that work time doesn't consistently spill over into personal time.

Time management is one of the most important science in the modern work environment. The moment we can control time requires to complete a task, first step to success and develop your business. Managing work and life priorities can be a mix of art and science, each and every one of us has to work hard to understand.

First I correct my personal life then my career because career is a long journey personal life is the day today activity what you seed in a day grows in our entire life for that for everything we do from our heart and we love what we do by categorizing our task into urgent, important,not important,not urgent, and by eliminating our problems by systematically.

The person who works the most hours in a day isn't necessarily the hardest or most accomplished worker. This is a hard lesson to learn for us workaholics. As a leader you should know the problems that stop the line from running. Address those problems first (directly when necessary and through your team when possible) and then focus on your projects aimed at solving problems and improving process. Leaders shouldn't be firefighters. Our goal is to make change that improves how we do things. These changes don't happen alone after everyone has gone home. Take the time needed for your family. You need to enjoy the reason you go to work. Without that reason the accomplishments mean nothing.

As an educator, I have found that the BEST thing you can do is set boundaries. You have to draw the line where work ends and personal/family life begins, and remember to not cross it. For example, do NOT check/respond to work email when you are off/home, unless it is an absolute emergency. It’s suggested to not even have it on your phone so you aren’t tempted. Took me YEARS to set boundaries, but once I did, it made some parts a little easier to deal with.

One thing I have found to be very helpful and required is setting boundaries. Life and work can both become overwhelming and that can lead to burnout, stress and other wellness concerns. You have to understand your limits and not be afraid to be firm about them. A lot of times the boundaries that we need are not necessarily with others, but with ourselves. Understanding your personal and professional goals is important along with the boundaries to support your journey to achieve them. Work/life balance to many is a myth so having boundaries makes it a whole lot easier to maintain both.

When faced with competing demands between my career and personal life, I prioritize by setting clear boundaries and establishing a balance that allows me to excel in both areas. I delegate tasks where possible, practice effective time management, and prioritize activities based on their significance and impact. Regular self-care routines and open communication with my support network also play a crucial role in maintaining equilibrium. Ultimately, by being mindful of my own needs and commitments, I strive to achieve harmony between my professional and personal pursuits.

I have a simple rule that I follow and it really works, "What's not on the calendar doesn't happen." Or, "What's on the calendar is what's gonna happen."

Accept the fact that you will never be able to fulfill all expectations at work or your personal life. It is about knowing when to say no to what. Sometimes you will have to say no to work because your personal life needs more of your time while at other times you will have to say no to personal life because your work needs more. As long as you are not focusing on just one aspect, it is ok to not be able to give 100% time to either at all times.

That's a valuable realization! Learning to say no can be empowering and is essential for maintaining a healthy balance. It's about setting boundaries and respecting your own needs. Remember, saying no is not a rejection of others but a prioritization of your well-being and commitments.

You have to have a work, home balance. Juggling one or the other to make your life easier for you is all about saying NO or delegating. You have a choice as a valued employee and civilian life. You have to make sure you have the right head space to complete a work project without it interfering with your home life. Prioritize the project set time lines and time frames to get the project done in a timely fashion with that being said time frame unknown to get through road blocks. As a leader you have a team that works for you and not against you if you are treating your team respectively. In closing you are not going to be able to juggle a job and home life unless you are I the right mindset.

While it can be tough to balance work and personal life, using your downtime strategically can make a big difference. Make the most of your breaks and free time by prioritizing activities that truly recharge you. This could be anything from listening to that chapter of the audiobook that excites you, taking a walk during your lunch break or spending time with some friends. The key is to be present and avoid multitasking - in your work and personal life. A rejuvenated you will bring more focus and energy to both your work and personal life. Just remember - it's okay to accept that some days will require more focus on work than others, as long as you make a conscious effort to schedule downtime for yourself.

A career is something you build and the pace you set by dividing your time between what is important. Being a Professional means learning that sacrifice is needed to gain the rewards of your labor. You can't burn a wick at both ends all the time! It is necessary to work long hours some times and seasons. The important thing is to be flexible about your wants and needs. You can't attain success in your personal life without working hard in your career. Solution: Treat yourself in your downtime and be ready for the long hours when needed.

If possible, seek help from others - whether it is someone in your personal life to support your personal aspects or someone from work to help with the work load. You'll need to understand what is important and prioritise accordingly. Know the limits and consequences. Be open to discuss with your management/team. I believe the worse thing that could happen to a business is losing a good team member; and the worse thing that could happen to you (in this situation) is not voicing your struggles and letting the stress boil up.

We are all humans, we can’t be perfect or the same. My own career / personal life balance may be right for me but not for anyone else. Just listen to your heart and guts, we are given the gift of life only once so of course the time is limited in a way but I personally always remind my self and from time to time singing “My way” by Frank Sinatra.

My personal life has been with me since I was born, and my career has given me an avenue to express my personal life. What I will suggest to anyone struggling to make good time for both personal life and career is 1. Accept the role each has to play in the success of the other 2. Stay disciplined in enjoying personal life with family, friends and loved ones and improving their lives alongside yours. 3. Don’t overlook investments you make in self development towards building a successful career and to contribute to helping your colleagues grow. 4. Be effective and efficient with time and space allocated for these two key aspects of your life.
