5 Tips To A Better Work-Life Balance

​People have trouble maintaining a good balance between work and personal life. Work can easily invade and disrupt your personal life. Technology that allows you to connect with work while at home is not always a good thing. It is normal to be worried about losing your job but your work should not eat a lot of your time at home.

Here are 5 tips to keep a healthier work-life balance:

1. Leave Work At The Office
   It is difficult to set boundaries between home and work, particularly with technology that can connect you with anyone at any time and anywhere. But, you can make an effort to separate work from your life at home by leaving work at work. 
   
   
2. Time Management
   Try to cut some tasks that you cannot handle for a particular day. If possible, delegate some activities you do not enjoy. At home, organize household chores accordingly. You can do the laundry every day instead of doing it all every Saturdays. Also, it is better to run errands in batches. Do not wait for the weekends; do what you can do today. 
   
   
3. Boost Your Support System
   Find co-workers who are willing to help you. You can cover for each other, for example, when there is family conflict. Also, ask the help of trusted neighbors and friends to lend a hand with household duties or child care. 
   
   
4. Seek Professional Help
   If you think you cannot handle the ways things between your work and personal life, seek the help of a professional. Find out if your company gives an employee assistance program. Make use of these kinds of services. 
   
   
5. Consider The Negative Effects Of Bad Work-Life Balance
   Lost time with loved ones. If the majority of your time is spent on working, you are likely missing a lot of family milestones and important events. 

Poor health. The stress you get from working too much can cause negative effects on your immune system. It can also make any of your medical condition to become worse. 

Fatigue. A tired mind and body can take a toll on your performance. You cannot think clearly and work effectively. This could lead to expensive mistakes.
