8. Work-Life Balance: How to align priorities and time.

Published On: 7 October 2024Categories: Career, Resilience

In today’s fast paced world, being busy is often equated with importance or value.  But without clear focus, we risk spending energy on others’ priorities or minor tasks, leaving us feeling unfulfilled.  Achieving balance across all areas of life is vital for managing your energy, well-being, and personal growth.

Awareness:

  • Reflect on how you’re spending your time. Are your activities aligned with your personal and professional priorities?
  • What areas of your life are being neglected in pursuit of work-related goals?
  • Do your daily habits reflect your long-term life aspirations and the career you want to build?

Agency:

  • Complete an analysis of your life – Wheel of Life or Eisenhower Matrix. Ask yourself:  What you wish you had more time for?  How can your routines evolve to better align with your long-term goals.
  • Identify one small yet meaningful step to regain balance – whether it’s setting aside time for self-care, hobbies, or quality moments with loved ones.
  • Use time-blocking and boundaries to protect personal time and avoid burnout.
