The first thing to understand about work-life balance is
that most people have the wrong idea of what that actually means. They think that their whole life should be balanced. That they should have a little bit of work and a little bit of play and a little bit of time on the weekends, in order to improve their quality of life.
When thinking about your quality of life, you have to ask
yourself:
What do you really want to do with your life?
If the answer is that you want to be really successful in
your career, you have to start a little earlier, you have to work a little harder, and you have to work a little later.
How Do You Manage Your Time?
Heres an interesting discovery:
Almost all successful people work 6 days a week.
Average people work 40, maybe even 30 hours a week. Now aside from actual time spent at work, the real problem comes down to what you accomplish while youre at work.
Most people spend 50% of their time doing non-work
related activities while theyre in the office. Browsing social media, checking email, taking long lunch breaks, and chatting with co-workers are all examples of time-wasting behaviors. When these activities turn into habits, it becomes harder to get all of your work done in order to focus on other aspects of your life.
Heres the key to achieving work-life balance: Choose
to manage your time.
Choosing to manage your time effectively is the starting
point of overcoming previous programming and eliminating mental blocks to time management. You must decide, right here and now, to become an expert in time-management in order to improve your quality of life.
