As firm believers in the “work hard, play hard” mentality, we\u2019re big advocates of learning how to balance work and life.\n\nSince doing so can feel pretty tricky, we tapped a few industry pros for their best advice on striking a balance between the work that funds your life and the life that makes work worth performing. Heed their ideas to improve work-life balance to thrive in all areas of your life.\n

How to Achieve Work-Life Balance in 15 ways<\/h2>\n

1. Learn how to say no<\/h3>\n\u201cWe sometimes like to be all things to everybody, but it drains us from head to toe,\u201d says URAWARRIOR founder, podcast host, and TV personality Bershan Shaw<\/a>. \u201cStop being a ‘yes’ person and do the things that you can realistically do, mentally and physically.\u201d\n\nThis includes being able to voice boundaries with your bosses. After all, as Bershan\u2014who’s also an international motivational speaker and executive leadership coach\u2014points out, if you\u2019re a perpetual people pleaser, the only person you won\u2019t be able to please is yourself.\n

2. Design a balanced dream for all areas of your life<\/h3>\nAccording to holistic leadership and mindset coach Amina AlTai<\/a>, finding work-life balance is easier when you have a specific dreams you wish to cultivate.\n\n\u201cHow do you want to feel in each area?\u201d she urges you to ask yourself. \u201cHow much do you want to work? How often do you want to vacation? What is your ideal wellness plan for yourself? What are your dreams for work and life?\u201d\n\nOnce you have your dreams in mind, Amina says to determine your non-negotiables in each area. \u201cThat way, before anything shifts, we know where we’ll make concessions and where we won’t,\u201d she explains. \u201cAre weekends off a non-negotiable? Daily meditations? Evenings with your children? Be absolutely clear what you’re willing to shift on, so when the pendulum swings, you’ll feel supported and have your boundaries respected.\u201d\n

3. Have a plan B<\/h3>\nAs much as you might love the idea of your dream life\u2014and as possible as it may be to achieve<\/a>\u2014Amina recommends always having a plan B for backup.\n\n\u201cWhen I\u2019m working with clients to feel great in work and in life, I invite them to create two versions of their plans,\u201d she explains. \u201cAn ideal scenario in which we have time to work out, meditate, get all of our work done, and spend time with our families, then a scenario in which we might have less time and resources. This condensed version of the plan allows us to prioritize when we need to adjust on the fly and ensure we uphold the most important parts of our lives.\u201d\n

4. Determine your values<\/h3>\n\u201cWhen defining our priorities, it\u2019s really important to be clear on what we value,\u201d Amina continues, as that \u201cshapes how we prioritize our lives and informs our happiness.” Next, she says that an overwhelming majority of Americans are unhappy. “I believe that unhappiness is a reflection of how out of alignment we are with our values as a culture.\u201d\n\nWhen working with clients, Amina invites them to get in touch with their own value systems to define how they can best embody their truest selves and live their fullest lives. \u201cWe highlight the top-ranking values we wish to orient our compass towards, with the goal of designing our lives around them,\u201d she says. \u201cBeing in sync with our values lays the groundwork for alignment leading to greater overall satisfaction, success, and the freedom to live in a way that feels true to us.\u201d\n\n\"Man\n

5. Designate a space for work<\/h3>\nSince many of us work from home these days, therapist and relationship coach Risha Nathan, LCSW, HHC<\/a>, says it’s essential to designate a workspace within your home<\/a>. \u201cWhether you’re in a shared space or a studio apartment, creating space separation can help create a boundary,\u201d she explains. \u201cDesignate a space that’s comfortable and as separate as possible, and make sure to do work in that area.\u201d\n\nThis tip on how to balance work and life is especially important for remote workers. After all, you\u2019re never really \u201caway\u201d from your work physically.\n\n\u201cYou need to develop barriers between your work and personal lives so you can avoid burnout<\/a>,\u201d adds Brie Weiler Reynolds<\/a>, a career development manager and coach at FlexJobs. \u201cPut your laptop in a drawer or closet when you’re done with work so you don’t see it and feel tempted to jump back in. Start and end your workday with some kind of ritual that signals to your brain it’s time to change from work to personal, or vice versa.\u201d\n

6. Create time boundaries<\/h3>\nIn the quarantine era of social distancing, it can be especially easy to put all your time and effort into your career. However, an inability to disengage can negatively affect work-life balance. \u201cBe aware of the reasons why you might be choosing work over other things,\u201d Risha suggests. \u201cWith little else going on [personally] at this time, it’s been easy to work around the clock, so pay attention to time boundaries.\u201d\n

7. Find a job that gives you more control over when, where, and how you work<\/h3>\nThat’s the dream, right? While many companies are recently allowing employees to work from home, that’ll only last for so long. And, after months of working remotely, heading back to an office might seem like the worst. Because of this, Brie recommends seeking remote and flexible jobs that let you take back control over your days, and, as a result, allow you to maintain the benefits of work-life balance.\n

8. Take a break from social media<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s no point in denying that we\u2019re pretty much all guilty of overconsumption. \u201cChecking your social media<\/a> every hour on the hour can keep you stressed and wasting a lot of time,\u201d Bershan says. \u201cSometimes we don’t realize that scrolling through Facebook, Linkedin, and Instagram is time-consuming, when we can be doing something [else] productive and meaningful for our own lives.\u201d For that reason, taking a step back from social media<\/a> can help us refocus.\n

9. Turn off your email after hours<\/h3>\nScary, but necessary. But turning off your email once you’ve finished a day’s work is important, as you shouldn’t be available all the time. \u201cLet your teammates and manager know when they can expect you,\u201d Brie says. \u201cLet people know your general schedule and when you’re \u2018off the clock\u2019 so they aren’t left wondering.\u201d\n\n\"Woman\n

10. Check in with yourself regularly<\/h3>\nAs Amina points out, checking in with yourself helps us readjust before we get to the point of burning out. While you can do mental self-checks, she recommends writing things down.\n\n\u201cIn my Nourishment Journal<\/a>, I guide people to finding a full and fulfilling life,\u201d she explains. \u201cI ask them to examine all areas of their lives and check in at intervals to see how they\u2019re progressing. \u201cI invite my clients to check in weekly and sometimes even daily to ask themselves where they need to nourish themselves more and what might need to shift to do so.\u201d\n\nIf you prefer a journal that lets you structure your own self-care and self-love evaluations<\/a>, check out the Savor Life Planner<\/a>. While the 90-day planner gives you prompts to check in each week, it also provides space for whatever you wish to write down or keep track of.\n

11. Forget the idea of perfection<\/h3>\nWhile striking balance may seem like the perfect reality, Amina urges us to let go of this notion. \u201cThere’s no \u2018perfect\u2019 career or life, and there’s no perfect balance,\u201d she says. \u201cThis idea keeps us stuck in an endless cycle of chasing new goalposts.\u201d\n\nInstead, she suggests approaching these areas of your life with kindness and compassion while simultaneously being clear on your goals. \u201cIf you miss the mark, learn from it and readjust so you’re better equipped the next time around,\u201d she advises.\n

12. Find some alone time<\/h3>\nTaking time to yourself<\/a> can help clarify what it is you really want when attempting to achieve work-life balance. If you need to take a walk in the morning or at night, read a book, meditate, or whatever makes you feel good, Bershan suggests doing so. \u201cJust step away from it alone. Spend your time just relaxing and being with yourself and your inner spirit,\u201d she says.\n

13. Do things that make you feel good<\/h3>\nThis idea to improve work-life balance sounds so simple… and it\u2019s because it is. Sometimes all you need is time to exercise, take a bath, cook a new dish, take online courses, learn photography, or do something around the house you’ve been putting off. \u201cNow’s the time to spend doing things only you want to do,\u201d Bershan says. \u201cYou’ll feel good about it.\u201d\n\n\"Man\n

14. Schedule personal activities like you do work projects<\/h3>\nBrie believes that most people struggle with the work aspect because they\u2019re so focused on it. To help even things out, she recommends scheduling personal activities and have several go-to hobbies that you enjoy so you’ll have something specific to do with your personal time. \u201cIf you don’t have anything planned, like a hike after work or a puzzle project, you may find it easier to slip back to work unnecessarily,\u201d she says.\n

15. Cater to your mental health<\/h3>\nIf it’s still iffy to risk close encounters, Bershan recommends joining a mental health support app<\/a>. \u201cFind a place for mental health support within a community so you won’t suffer in silence,\u201d she says. \u201cJoin fun online workshops with a community, sign up for networking groups, and take part in online social clubs.\u201d\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\nYes, the benefits of work-life balance are aplenty. Yet as wonderful as achieving a happy medium may sound, it\u2019s important to understand that the idea is subjective.\n\n\u201cI actually don\u2019t believe in work-life balance, as balance implies a 50\/50 static split,\u201d Amina says. \u201cI believe that achieving harmony is less about being fixed, stationary, and perfectly symmetric in work and life. I’m more about cultivating nimbleness knowing that in certain moments work will take precedence and in certain moments life will take precedence.\u201d\n\nBrie adds to this, noting that balancing everything perfectly all the time isn’t going to happen. \u201cInstead, know that the scales of your balance are going to tip back and forth,\u201d she says. \u201cSome days, you’ll need to put more focus and attention on the private side, and other days, on the work side.\u201d\n
