045: Take Back Your Life Part 1: How To Create Work-Life Balance

Today, I am talking about an issue that is very near and dear to my heart right now.

We're smack dab in the middle of COVID-19. Many of us are working from home. Because of all of that and more, there is a disturbing lack of work-life balance.

People are overworked and burnt out. They are neglecting self-care and the things in life that should be coming first.

I want more for you.

In this first episode of this new series, I'm teaching you how to create work-life balance for yourself.

I'm talking about the top 5 areas in which you have to focus to cultivate work-life balance. These are real strategies that you can apply today.

This may take some work on the frontend. However, it will pay back in dividends later as you begin to abolish those sleepless nights and take back your life.

In this episode, you will hear:

• How to prioritize your time and your tasks.
• What areas of life to focus on when scheduling your time.
• The categories of time and tasks to prioritize.
• Why you need to limit your screen time.
• How taking breaks during the workday helps with work-life balance.
• The danger of overcommitting yourself and how to stop.
• How to fight the guilt.

Great podcast, definitely took some notes. Work-life balance is always a challenge. Time to set down my phone and make that a priority is going to be one of the biggest things I need to focus on. I love that you said saying best and worst thing about a day at dinner— one of my favorite movies is The Story of Us and they do “high/lows” for the day—same concept. Made me smile. Great quotes too! :)
