Work-life balance
It very difficult to find a work-balance, especially if you are a woman and you're a teacher! The most important thing in this case is the proper distribution of time. It should be clearly delineated what time to spend on work and everything connected with it and what time you should devote to the family. In my opinion the most important thing in life is family, so that’s why you should plan your time so that one was not at the expense of another. Coming to work you should “shut down” and completely immersed in the work. As they say keep mood and all the problems at home. But as soon as cross the threshold of the need to disconnect and leave the work and problems at work. If this does not work then the problem starts with the home, so the balance is not found. An important assistant to combine work and home is the internet, sitting at home you can do your work responsibilities and at the same time you can focus on family. I would like to give some prompts, how to get equality between work and life:
1) Think of your day as 24 hours. Decide how much time you are going to spend sleeping, eating, being with family, working, leisure and time for 'me'. This isn't always easy, but try just 10 minutes for yourself at first, and build up.
2) If you take work home, set times when you will deal with this and be strict about it. Don't get distracted and then allow the work to drag on all night/weekend. Make sure you have a 'stop time' so that you can relax.
3) Once you've built up on 10 minutes 'for me', try to spend 30 minutes
just doing nothing. If you can, let your mind drift.
4) Clear your desk every evening and be less hassled when you get in the next day.
5) Keep up to date with technological short cuts. Ask your IT department to advise.
6) Delegate more - be honest, is there anything you can pass to the school office, or the support assistants?
7) Ban sticky notes from your desk. You'll be distracted and react to them, rather than completing anything.
8) Refuse to argue over small things. It's a waste of time to bicker and causes more stress in the end.
9)Above all - strike a balance: work out when you have to give 100% and when just 70% will be OK.
is your article the result of your personal experience? i'm asking because it looks like one of these articles in "cosmo" when "ideal" girls give unrealizable advice (i'm sorry if i wrong).
ОтветитьУдалитьthis article is exactly for me. i'm that person with staring eyes who tries to do everything but doesn’t succeed in this.
i need to deal with that somehow but planning my time is not for me. i never follow the plan - always on autopilot)). i mean, in stressed situations like passing an exam. on the other hand there is always something that goes not according to a plan, at least in my life).
how to live if you work at work and you work when you come home and still you're lack of time?
