19. In summary
4 ways to improve your work-
life balance
 Below, we've compiled tips for improving your work-life balance [5]. You
can begin trying out one at a time or implementing a few at once.
Remember that finding an approach that works for you is a process and
will take time.

20. . Pause and evaluate
 Taking time out to understand how the various parts of your life are impacting
one another is a necessary step in developing a new work-life integration that
serves your needs. Pause and consider your current work-life situation; ask
yourself how you feel. Some questions you might reflect on include:
• Am I spending enough quality time doing what I really want?
• Am I committing enough time and energy to people or things that are
meaningful to me?
• Do I still feel aligned to my professional or personal goals? Why or why not?
• Where do I feel the most stuck? What is it about this situation that makes me
feel that way?
 As you think through these complex personal questions, journaling your
thoughts and feelings can be a good way to identify the areas you feel need the
biggest adjustments. Ultimately, these questions should help you gain greater
clarity on your current situation.

21. . Assess your priorities
 2Once you have a better sense of what you'd like to adjust, you'll want to
begin identifying what you want to prioritize. Some questions you might
ask yourself include:
• What really matters to me and am I doing enough of it?
• Where can I make compromises? Where can’t I? Where have I been making
too many compromises?
• What are some alternative actions I can take to ensure I am devoting
enough time and energy to my goals and relationships?
• Where can I integrate my responsibilities, so I honour more than one at the
same time?

22. Establish boundaries
 Establishing boundaries is a crucial part of time management. And
communicating those boundaries will be equally important. If you can no
longer respond to emails promptly after hours because you're with your
family, your team will need to know.
 Work boundaries fall into one of three categories—physical, emotional, or
time. Start by setting small boundaries and expand from there. Learn more
about how to set better boundaries at work.

23. Time management
 3. Now that you know what your priorities are—whether that's spending
more time at work to aim for a promotion or cutting back on after-hours
emails by establishing boundaries—it's important to figure out how to
better manage your time.
 Review how you currently spend your time and look for ways to adjust your
schedule where possible. You can "chunk" your time as a way to focus on
one area at a time, or use a matrix system to establish your priorities when
new tasks pop up unexpectedly. Learn more about how to manage your
time to boost your productivity and well-being.

24. Reflect, refine, repeat
 Whatever actions you decide are needed to create a good work-life
balance, though, you should be conscious of the fact that you will likely
need to continue to refine it over time. Big life changes can take time, so
reflecting on your approach and refining it periodically will likely be
integral parts of the process.
