Work or Life

Growing up and watching our parents work was kind of nice, especially as you get to see your parents come home and they would even help out with your homework. Someone will say that was the 19th Century that happened last ; fast-forward to the 21st Century and it's a different ballgame.

One would think the more work one gets done the more satisfied an individual will be,but far from it. The way we work now as individuals,  we are gradually working ourselves to the grave. 

Now this brings to mind the all spoken about topic that no one has gotten a bearing on "Work -Life Balance ". How can one achieve this in this 21st Century time. One will propose I work SMART :

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Time- related

But really, is this do-able,  with the way employers expect you to do Heaven and Earth (forgive the expression) to meet targets. Having a job before meant you have a specific task, but now it's not so as you can be employed for one task and end up doing a million and one things.

How then can I have a balanced work-life?

By applying these few tips:

1. Ensure you have a list of things you need to do as you resume for work, even if it is a mental list.

2. Remove all distractions,E.g Avoid side talks, gossip, etc.

3. Try not to do so many things at once; it won't help you cause in the end you will end up getting nothing done.

4. Set reminders.

5. Take short breaks.

6. As much as possible ,  DO NOT TAKE WORK HOME, unless you can't help it once in a while.

7. Remain hydrated.

This is just a little of what you can do, you can still find other things you can add.

The goal is do not over burden yourself, Hey you are too young to die just yet. The highest your company will do is to hold a one minute silence for you in your department and not the whole company will do that at the same time.

The main thing is plan your time adequately.

  

TO EVERYTHING there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven:
