How do you balance life and work?

by
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?

Cleaning room on Sunday, a bit of gardening keeps the week days stress on side. Along with that an hour of gym .

@therahulv cleaning, gardening, and working-out! That's a healthy lifestyle man~ My way of dealing with the stress is eating... I gotta learn from you~
Rahul
@dot_brand we all have someone to learn from something .
Kevin Lu
@therahulv Truly!

@therahulv Oh I wish I could maintain a routine, I always end up not going for months!

I often travel with my family for few days every week or two to different destinations to relax from work.
Kevin Lu
@vladimir_zivkovic Wow, that's nice~ What bothers me is that even when I go out with my family, I still feel extremely distracted and stressed out. Have you ever experience this kind of problem?
Vlad Zivkovic
@dot_brand One thing we try to do is always going to a new destinations with plenty of unknown things to discover, and that will keep the mind distracted. But of course there will always be some work ideas going in our minds.
Kevin Lu
@vladimir_zivkovic Nice idea! I will try it next time! XD

I achieve a balanced life and work by setting clear boundaries, prioritizing my mental and physical health with regular exercise and downtime, utilizing productivity tools to manage my tasks efficiently, and making sure to allocate quality time for my loved ones and hobbies that refresh my spirit.
Kevin Lu
@josephjack62 I should learn that from you: allocating quality time! What bothers me is that even when I go out with my family, I still feel extremely distracted and stressed out.

@dot_brand I believe you can start practicing blocking certain thoughts, everytime you catch yourself thinking about work, block that thought, for me that works!

I don't need to seek a balance... I go with the flow with what I want in a given moment. When I feel worky, I work.. When I don't feel worky I don't work.
Kevin Lu
@cyriljeet Life is work, work is life! Followed you, Cyril! God Speed!!

@dot_brand nice to connect!

I establish specific boundaries between work and personal life. Define when the workday starts and ends, and stick to those hours as much as possible. I also avoid bringing work-related tasks into my personal time.
Kevin Lu
@sakshi_gahlawat May I ask, what do you think about the mindset of "work is life, life is work"? while some people tend to separate the work from life~

Great Discussion! Finding a work-life balance can be quite the challenge, but it's essential for our well-being. Here are a few suggestions that have worked for me: 1) Prioritize self-care and set aside time for activities you enjoy. 2) Delegate tasks when possible to lighten your workload. 3) Set boundaries and communicate your availability to avoid burnout. Remember, taking care of ourselves is just as important as our work. Keep up the great work!
Kevin Lu
@moon10 I like the idea of listing 10 tasks you need to finish in the morning, and remove 8 of them, and focusing and finishing the rest 2!
Moon
Great suggestion, Kevin Lu! Sometimes, simplifying our to-do lists can make a world of difference in finding a better work-life balance.
Kevin Lu
@moon10 I learned this idea from someone's podcast that talks about Warren Buffet's focusing methodology~ XD

When I practice religion it'’s really under controll. If I don’t, I can't balance 🫤
Kevin Lu
@deluar_001 Thanks for sharing! Finding inner peace and balance is important indeed!
Ali Shah Lakhani
One advice that I got a few years back for this was to NEVER compromise on good food, good sleep, and the value of drinking enough water daily. Now I'm starting to realize it's not ONE advice, it's THREE 🤣
Kevin Lu
@alishahlakhani Agreed with you, Ali! Sleep well, eat well, keep your mind strong and healthy are indeed important!
