3. MEANING
 Work–life balance is a concept including proper
prioritizing between "work" (career and ambition)
and "lifestyle"(Health, pleasure, leisure,
family and spiritual development/meditation).

4. Does not mean an equal balance. Trying to
schedule an equal number of hours for each
of your various work and personal activities is
usually unrewarding and unrealistic.
Will vary over time, often on a daily basis. The
right balance for you today will probably be
different for you tomorrow. The right balance
for you when you are single will be different
when you are married.

5. There is no perfect, one-size fits all, balance
you should be striving for. The best work-life
balance is different for each of us because we
all have different priorities and different lives.
An effective work-life balance definition has
two key everyday concepts that are relevant
to each of us. They are daily Achievement and
Enjoyment

Attainable, Realistic and Timely]
2. Plan a Structure:
Work life balance is all about Flexibility which can be achieved by a
Structure in place as it brings certainty (You know what’s going to
happen and why). It also includes TOOLS / RESOURCES to have
flexibility. This includes you being able to work from variety of
places in different times of a day effectively. For this you would
need mobile phones, laptops, remote access and flexible hours are
important.

3. Practice Good Time Management: It means to do the right things in a
right way at the right time. For this you need to focus on your priorities
and focus on those tasks that advance important goals; those goals that
will bring in high pay off results.
Activities that involve too much time should be simplified, delegated or
eliminated. Good time management means focusing on results. It’s
important to aim for excellence but not necessarily for perfection. Cause
when you aim for excellence you might get excellent results but when
you aim for perfection you might never quite get there.

available on effective time management, goal setting, prioritizing
activity, increasing effectiveness, negotiation, relaxation and stress
management. Also, there are providers of these trainings.
5. Take Holidays and Long Weekends: If you have got good Structure in
place and good support system you can find a time off.

14. TIPS FOR WORK LIFE BALANCE
6. Reward Yourself: They are important because they are something
extra that you have been working towards. So, after you have set your
goals and achieved them take the reward. You can choose to reward
yourself be it at work or home. By doing this everything will become
more enjoyable. Take the small and big rewards. You deserve it.
7. Stay Healthy: It’s important to eat well, sleep well and exercise. You
need good office desk, good chair, good lighting, no fall over cables
and at home it is just as valid. At home a good bed is also important as
one spends most of the time there. Medical check ups are important.
When working hard any of the therapies and check ups are cost
effective.

15. TIPS FOR WORK LIFE BALANCE
8. Be Passionate and Enthusiastic: Mix with positive people and
don’t accept negativity either privately or professionally. See the
Opportunity and not the obstacle. Always try to see the positive
situation of any thing. Look harder look longer and look at it
differently. Two techniques to attain these is 1. Positive self talk
and 2. Visualization.
Positive Self-Talking
Instead of telling “you can’t do something”, tell yourself “you can
do it” Say these “I am a great person; I am valuable, I am good at
what I do, I am excited about my work, my goals and my life”.
Visualization includes:
Determining your end goal (actually seeing, touching, feeling and
experiencing the emotion of the goal). In this way you feel that you
have already achieved your goal as you are already experiencing it.

knowledge and understanding and this in return will increase your
control and lastly you achieve a better balance. So it’s very important
to enjoy what you do or change what you do.

THE 3Q’S

26. INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT
 Intelligence Quotient Primarily solves logical problems.
 IQ includes qualities like analytical skills, logical reasoning,
ability to relate multiple things, and ability to store and retrieve
information. IQ tests check this through various questions
related to reading comprehension, data interpretation, logical
reasoning, verbal ability, visual-spatial reasoning,
classification, analogies and pattern-detection.

evolved to question their own purpose / existence

better.

because we are driven by a need to ask
‘Fundamental’ or ‘Ultimate’ questions.

36. ADDITIONAL ARTICLE
 Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Emotional Quotient (EQ) and Spiritual Quotient (SQ).The power of self realization.
 While you read articles about Einstein’s IQ of 160 and all of a suddenly everyone wants to have a higher IQ. The question is, does the IQ guarantees you
to be successful in your business or life in general?
 There is a lot more in a human being than just the Intelligent Quotient (IQ). The Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is just the measure of intelligence and it is
independent on self-assessed levels of happiness. Do you still remember those smart guys we had in class? They usually score great marks but start to
fail soon as they start to date a beautiful girl or when they suffer broken heart.
 Managing emotions is more important than managing your intellect.Research done by tracking over 160 high performing individuals from different
industries and job levels shows, emotional intelligence was two times more important in contributing to excellence than intellect and expertise alone.
 It is not the question of strategy that getting us into trouble it is the question of emotions — John Kotter. How you manage relationship is key and most
businesses are dying not because they lack strategy but they lack good business relationships.

 But there is more than that, the intelligence needed for you to ask the most critical questions is what you need. Why should I react this way? Is it necessary
to get in a fight? What am I going to get out of it? The intelligence required to ask most fundamental and basic questions in life and seek answers is called
Spiritual Intelligence or Spiritual Quotient (SQ).
 Actually what composes intelligence is the 3 Q’s; The Intelligent Quotient (IQ), The Emotional Quotient (EQ) and The Spiritual Quotient (SQ). Intelligence
can simply be defined as; doing the right thing, at the right time, at the right place. This requires us to be able to manage both our internal environment (us)
and external Environment (what surrounds us). It is more than just knowing things.
 The personality of the human being is guided by the 3 needs; the need of body (eating, sleeping, mating and defending), the need of mind (seeking
positive relationship and reject negative ones) and the need of intellect (seeking knowledge). We have to understand when unregulated one of this
personality within ourselves will enjoy for the cost of others. The power to control the three is called intelligence, Spiritual Quotient (SQ)

 Emotional intelligence is all about having control on how you react after an incidence. The 90/10 principle says, 10 percent of life is made up by what
happens to us and 90 percent of it is decided by how you react. We don’t have control of the 10 percent but we have control of the 90 percent. You decide
what to do when; you lost an important deal, break up with your loved one, crazy guy knock your car or even working with a client who doesn’t appreciate
your work. The 90 percent is the most important is what comprises the emotional intelligence. One wrong reaction can cause a chain reaction of bad
incidences. For example; The guy knocks your car, you stood up and fight, the policeman shows up, you got arrested, the guy died and you realized to fix
the car was just 100 dollars. You didn’t have control of the incidence but you could have decided on how you react.
