Work Life Balance is about individuals managing their lives -- setting personal & professional goals.

Obtaining a balance between work life and personal life in our environment is challenging.

Work Life Balance- my case:

I need to develop and prioritize realistic goals Managing time effectively at work is difficult My work-life (un)-balance impacts my team It’s difficult to manage a sense of urgency with

prioritization Lack of resources/team I can’t delegate most of my tasks

Examples of things you can do to improve your life balance…

1. Set goals around your schedule and try to manage to this “time-box”.

2. Consider scheduling personal activities on your calendar to block off time for these important events.

3. Schedule time on your calendar to focus on “important” tasks – don’t let other meetings consume your day so you can only do “your work” on the evenings and weekends.

4. Don’t get pulled into email. Try to prioritize email along with the other items on your to-do list.

5. Keep in mind that “sharpening the saw” – exercising or reading can help keep you sharper at work than continuing to grind away non-stop.

6. Recognize that work life balance is more than just hours. Satisfaction plays a key role – satisfaction about your role, your impact, and even happiness in your personal life can affect your morale.
