The most basic thing that needs to be done to maintain a balance in your life is to learn how to manage time. Make a schedule of your day. Stick to it. Manage your 24 hours to the fullest. Give time to everything you like to do and slowly and steadily make it happen. At first, it would be a little difficult to do but with time and a little bit of patience it can be achieved. You can also think long term and make a schedule of a month or even a year.

If you can’t alter your working hours according to your comfort and flexibility, then try to be relax in those  working hours and manage those hours in a way that can bring you joy because in the end that’s all that matters.

Have a break

Take A Break 1

While working for long hours, you should take small breaks between your work or else you can get frustrated while working and it can affect both your work and personal life. If you are frustrated whilst working then your productivity can decrease and if you continue to frustrate and take that frustration to your home, it will affect you and those around you too. Taking a small break can ease your mind and relax you.

Making priorities

A simple saying goes:-“You simply can’t go wrong by making yourself a priority”. You have to set your priorities straight and that too according to you. You don’t have to listen to other people’s advise for your own priorities. Make up your mind and set your priorities. Try to make a list. Paste that list on your wall and see it every day and remember it every time any situation comes where you have to decide. This will help you to create your preferred balance in life.

Be social

Leaving your social life just for some work is never an option if you want to normalise your life. The most important way to maintain a balance is to be social. Talk to your friends, family or even colleagues. Hang out with them. Go to a bar, a game, movies, bowling or just talk to them over the phone or in person. This helps in maintaining a sane mind and keeps negative thoughts far too. Talk to people over FB or try to make new friends through Instagram. Engage with people and build your social life.

Personal time matters

When we think about it, then only we realise that we never time to introspect. Every day we either spend our time working or playing or some other things but never really spend any time thinking about ourselves. If we take some time out to introspect we can learn many new details about ourselves that we usually ignore in day to day life. We should give some time to ourselves and enjoy in that time. You can read, write, listen to songs etc and do many things in your me time.
