How do we manage to juggle our professional ambitions with personal fulfilment?
Personally, I've adopted a few strategies that have greatly helped me:
* Weekend Work Ban: Early in my career, working weekends as a single person wasn't an issue, but I soon realized the importance of preserving this time. I'm ready to work late during the week, but weekends are off-limits.
* Daily Highlights: I ensure there's something to look forward to every day. This instils positivity and motivation. If I anticipate a day filled with dull meetings, I might treat myself to a meal out or start the day with a run to get that dopamine boost.
* Maintain Outside Activities: No matter how exhausted I feel, I make it a point to keep my outside activities. I've learned that the lower I feel, the more crucial it is to engage in social dinners or fitness sessions, as these activities significantly boost my energy.
I’m keen to hear about your strategies and stories. What’s your secret to keeping the scales balanced?
