How do you balance work and home life?
My balance looks like this:
up at 4:30- catch up on emails, send messages to folks about priorities for the day/week, review anything that needs my approval, do personal or social blog postings .
6:00am – Peloton workout
7:30 am – walk my dog
8:30 am begin work at my desk
Mid day – do something that is not work- take a walk, watch a video, dance
Afternoon- meetings – I do my best work in the morning. I’m better at meetings later in the day.
6:00 Offline for family and fun
Sometimes – I’ll work on work in the evenings or in the weekend. If that works for me.
Bottom line : if I’m stressed out or preoccupied with something work related and it is not work time, I can’t be fully present. So working on the thing will help me balance.
What works for you?
