I often find myself pushed forward by various challenges. When time is tight and work pressure is intense, do you have any good work-life balance suggestions?
Just try to get out into nature, even for as little as 30 mins per day, and especially at the weekend, if you can through Sunday without using your phone (leave it at home) it can help.
@graham_wood79 Thanks for the suggestions; taking rest is indeed necessary, and I also begin to meditate 10min everyday, it's pretty good though~

Hey there, my friend!
I totally get it; we all face tough challenges in our careers sometimes. But you know what? Along my journey, I've had some eye-opening experiences that helped me find that sweet work-life balance.
Here's my go-to list to keep things in check:
1. Set boundaries: Keep those negative vibes at bay from work and personal life.
2. Stay positive and grateful: Embrace failures as lessons and ditch the self-blame game.
3. Self-care: Take time for hobbies and those much-needed breaks.
4.Stop people-pleasing: You can't make everyone happy, and that's okay!
5.Know my limits: Respect my own capacity and tackle things one step at a time.
6. Family first: Always give love and time to the people who matter most.
7, Contemplate and meditate: Reflect on my wins, big or small β they all count!
8. Take breaks: Snooze like a champ for that energy boost and clear mind.
9. Be spiritual: Find guidance in tough times and spread good vibes with positive actions.
I'm rooting for your success in both your career and personal life. Keep rockin', dude! π
balance isn't about evenly distributing time. it's about aligning energy.
the secret: intertwining life and work. blend them into a unique cocktail, a blend of passion and purpose, where work energizes life and life inspires work.
chasing balance? here's what i've learned:
1. identify your non-negotiables, both in life and work. set clear boundaries.
2. align passion and work. work becomes less of a drain, more of a fountain.
3. integrate moments of rest. rest isn't just sleep, it's whatever refuels you.
4. remember, you're human. it's okay to stumble, to need breaks. embrace it.
but most importantly, understand that balance is a journey, not a destination. some days, the scales might tip. and that's okay.
life isn't about finding perfect balance, but about dancing with the imbalance.
keep dancing. πΊ
@shajedulkarim_ Wow, thanks for your insightful sharing, Shajedul~ It's really helpful, and I like the concept.of "Balance isn't about evenly distributing time, but aligning energy." To extend the idea, balancing time is more about focusing on what's utterly important to us.
yes, you can. let approach from philosophical point of view. you have only one life! and limited time. you need to remember that. you should know that you should spend time for yourself and for people you love.
I totally understand. Sometimes the work-life balance is particularly difficult because we are approaching a difficult phase in the product's life. For example, we have a launch tomorrow and for the last two weeks I have to be in touch with colleagues 24/7. But once the launch is over, everything will be fine and I will go on vacation :D
I think work-life balance is important, but when you create your own product, you have to prioritise.
@renat_abyasov Truly! First thing first, just followed your product!! Thanks for your suggestions, same here man! XD

Not sure if balance is the right word. There will always be unbalance with work and life. One of my mentors talks about integration instead of balance. How can we integrate our work and life together.
For example, if you're training for a marathon, it is OK to expect you to spend less time with the family during the week b/c you need to train for a few months. Once the race is over, then that time switches back.
Instead of working for 12 hours a day, I force myself to keep my work hours within 8 hours per day to ensure quality work and time to do other things. But I especially keep weekends for family and friends. You'd be surprised at the benefit you get from taking a break
