Work and Life go hand in hand. We should know how to properly prioritize between our work i.e., career, passion, and ambitions on one hand and life like health, family, pleasure, recreation on other. There is no readymade formula to calculate this correct balance, we must explore within oneself to get this correct balance. It is going to differ from people to people and not everyone has same priorities and lives as ours. Trying to give equal number of hours to your work and personal life is just an unrealistic expectation!

 

The proper balance that seems right today will bound to be different in tomorrow. If today you are studying or when you start a new career in future, your priorities will differ. But maintaining a work life balance is important for every individual. Work life balance is bi-directional. It depends upon individuals what they are looking for themselves. To illustrate, a mother’s work life balance may be between work responsibility and family obligations but for a student it might differ.

The key to establish work-life balance is to create a proper balance between daily achievement and daily joy. You'll not be content with your life if there is no stability between work and life. That's the reason why many successful people are not nearly as happy with their lives as they should be. When you find the right balance, it's like half the battle/balance has been won.

 

In the world that we are living today everyone is just striving to come first, either it may be in some examination or in the corporate world, due to which there is an negative impact in their personal lives. In the daily competition of coming first, people lose their balance which cause stress, tension, and anxiety to them.

 

Now a days companies have realized to some extent how important is the work-life balance for an employee as it can be beneficial for the companies too. The employee has the freedom to do their work in their own way. They are awarded the tasks with deadlines and     so that they can set up their own schedule to meet the deadlines.

 

Some organizations, by introducing motherhood/paternity leaves, various holidays, and insurance plans, have become more involved with their families. To maintain a proper work- life balance you must prioritize what is to be done first and what can be done later. A little planning is essential. However, how much systematically you plan, its need to be remembered that not everything that we have planned will go accordingly, because things are not supposed to go perfect all the time. It's not exactly a science to manage times. Do what you can and enjoy the pleasant or productive time you spend

 

Always remember that striking a work-life balance is not stagnant process rather it is an on-going process. Invest in your work life balance. Spending time with family and friends is equally important as spending time at work. Not maintain work-life balance is a path towards unhappiness.

 

As it is rightly said " NEVER GET SO BUSY MAKING A LIVING THAT YOU FORGET TO MAKE A LIFE."
