‘Balance is not better time management, but better boundary management.’-Betsy Jacobson
‘Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes…..including you.’- Anne-Lamott
‘You will never feel truly satisfied by work, until you are satisfied by life.’-Heather Schuck

1. Set Clear Boundaries: Delegate tasks, when necessary, avoid bringing work home and draw a clear line between work and home.
2. Prioritise Self-Care: Making time in your busy schedule just for you, to exercise, meditate, or enjoy a favourite hobby will help rejuvenate both body and mind.
3. Practise Saying NO: Learn to decline commitments that do not align with your priorities, this is not a sign of weakness but a testament to your self-awareness and self-worth.
4. Collaborate with Colleagues: Remember teamwork makes the dream work, and sharing responsibilities lightens the load.
5. Unplug Regularly: Dedicating time disconnected from technology helps you reset and recharge. Spend quality time with loved ones or immersed in nature.
6. Embrace Imperfection: Accepting that perfection is unattainable and that allowing yourself permission to make mistakes is how we learn from them. Stop being hard on yourself.
7. Plan and Organise: Planning days and weeks ahead helps maximise productivity. Organise your tasks, prioritise them, tackling each one at a time.
8. Seek Support Networks: Surround yourself with positive, supportive family, friends, and mentors, who stand by you in sharing disappointments and celebrate your success.
