    What is Work-Life Balance?

    Work-Life Balance

    Before we start discussing the importance of work-life balance, you need to fully understand the meaning of this term. To every one of us, a good work-life balance will mean something different. It’s not so much a matter of dividing your time between work and social life as it is about feeling fulfilled and content in both aspects of your life. Some things that can be a part of work-life balance include:

    • Completing job assignments while still making time for friends and interests
    • Including adequate sleep and nutritional intake
    • When you’re at home, you don’t have to think about work.

    What is the Importance of Work-Life Balance?

    Work-Life Balance

    In order to maintain your mental and physical health, you must maintain a healthy work-life balance. Following are the advantages of managing your time between work and personal life:

    1. Prevents Stress and Burnouts

    When employees are constantly stressed, it can lead to mental health problems like depression, anxiety, and sleeplessness. On the other hand, burnout occurs when an employee is subjected to excessive stress over an extended length of time. It can cause mood changes, irritation, and exhaustion which leads to decreased productivity. Managing your time between work and personal life can reduce the risk of these problems.

    2. Reduces the Risk of Heart Disease

    Working in a high-pressure environment around the clock can take a toll on your mental health and cause heart issues. Workers can get persistent aches and pains, heart problems, and hypertension if they do not take breaks. According to research about work-related stress and heart disease, approximately 10% to 40% of people struggle with work‐related stress, which can be a reason for the development of heart disease.

     

    3. Protects Physical Health

    Employees who are overworked are far more prone to suffer from physical illnesses. Constantly working without taking breaks can cause discomfort if your office chair or environment is not ergonomic. Moreover, sitting still is long hours can contribute to many chronic diseases like obesity.

    4. Improves Productivity

    A business relies on its staff to be productive, and it is where work-life balance comes into play. If an employee’s work-life balance is consistent, they will be considerably happy at work. Although staying late every night and working extra may seem to increase production, the work will most likely be of lower quality.

    Tips to Maintain a Healthy Work-life Balance

    Work-Life Balance

    Even though everyone has different circumstances, work-life balance is no myth. Many people have achieved it through trial and error because no set of rules can magically help you manage your time. However, some tips that can help you are:

    Find Your Perfect

    Not everyone is in the same situation or has the same amount of privileges as others. Therefore, you have to figure out what suits you the best. Don’t worry if it takes a while to find that perfect balance between work and personal life. It is indeed a hard task, but you can always ask your employer or family to help you out.

    Set Your Priorities Again

    In the hustle-bustle of life, we often forget to reassess our goals and set new priorities. So, take a step back, reevaluate your short-term and long-term goals and pick out the things that need urgent attention. You can do this every six months or at the beginning of every year to sort your priorities from time to time.

    Reconsider Your Options

    If your job is constantly causing stress and you believe you can get better options, you must seek new jobs. You can ask company’s about their work culture and environment and see if it suits your condition. You can also look for remote or online jobs if it is possible for your type of work and can help you better manage your time.

    Consult a Psychologist Now!

    Work-related stress can cause mental health issues like depression, anxiety, fear of missing out, and burnout. You can always consult a Psychologist for expert advice on managing your time between work and family.
