In today’s fast paced, hectic, challenging and sometimes crazy world, it is so easy to be consumed by our work and to neglect -or worse – forget our personal life. As a strategic thinking business coach, this topic is standard fare for my work with clients. Many times, the balance of work and personal life becomes a high priority coachable goal. Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach offers ten top tips, from a personal and a business coaching perspective on how to achieve balance in your work and personal life.
Tip #1: Create a personal vision statement that includes a balance of your work and your personal life.
Tip #2: Commit to and discipline yourself to separate the time of work and play.
If you want to achieve the full benefit of the non-work time, then you must fully concentrate on that effort.
Tip #3: Develop a separate set of goals for your work and your personal life.
Tip #4: Build into each day’s schedule a block or blocks of “Do Not Disturb Time” so you can fully concentrate on priority tasks to be completed.
Tip #5: Develop a list of what is most important to you in your work and personal life and review the list often.
Tip #6: Strive to discipline yourself to focus and place full attention on the task or activity at hand, instead of always multitasking. I learned that studies have shown that people are only 40% as productive when they do more than one thing at once than if they focus on one thing at a time.
Tip #7: Recruit and select a coach to assist you in your striving to achieve the work and personal life balance.
Tip #8: Set aside a period of time each day that is “Your Personal Time” to be used by you to “do nothing,” read, meditate, take a walk or anything you decide to do that will help you achieve a state of calmness and feeling relaxed, stress free and peaceful.
Tip #9: Use vacations to reenergize and reinvigorate yourself.
Tip #10: Commit to monitoring and improving your personal health.
