How to Balance Life & Work
- Leave work on time – I know it’s easy to work five or ten minutes over. But try not to. Being home at the same time every evening means that you can plan family life accordingly. Kids thrive routine.
- Think about introducing a 4-day work week – If you haven’t done it before-hand now is the perfect time to expand your weekend.
- Have a ‘to do list’ at home to jot down ideas – When you have ideas simply add them to the list and action them on Monday morning.
- Introduce an Adventure Day – Choose one day on the weekend and designate it ‘Adventure Day’. On this day no-one does any chores, cleaning or working. The only thing you can do on this day is hang out together and do something as a family. Whether it be going for a picnic, inviting some friends around or going to the farmers’ market.
- Get up early – If you have to work try not to let it eat in to family time. Get up early and do your work before the rest of the family get up.
- Have a second line installed or have a ‘work’ phone – it’s too easy to check your mail on your phone
- Close the office door at night & weekends – temptation lurks within
- Get into a new hobby which includes the kids – For example geocaching is great fun, uses technology (and the internet) and gets you out scamping around the countryside.
- Don’t take your laptop (or phone) on holiday - Have at least one session of complete ‘downtime’ per year.
