7 habits to Create a Work Life Balance

I wanna be rich,..... i wanna have lot lots of money...........stand tall like a pyramid, so so courageous....
no place i rather be......i wanna go down in history, i wanna make my mama proud..
(picked lines from Sauti Sol's song, "inspiring me".)

 
Well on a Monday like this, what can be better than a better focus on work, a better focus on making em $$$$$$....a better focus on making your empire....
as we focus lets remember that we need to have work life balance, and following are seven habits can help us to create this

1. Understanding what "balance Means"
“balance” doesn’t mean “equal.” Sometimes, either work or your personal life takes more weight, depending on what’s going on at the moment -- and that’s OK.just make sure you weigh and overpower either.

2.Let go of fear.
To develop a healthy balance between work and life, you have to first let go of the fear.The sky will not fall on you -- even if you’ve left several items unchecked on your to-do list.

3.Schedule important personal activities.
Block out your calendar for important personal events, and you’ll find they happen as they should. It can be tough to remember in the middle of a stressful business moment, but they’re just as important as any meeting.

4. Set boundaries.
If you’ve previously kept an open door policy at all hours of the day, shifting to a more limited availability can be frustrating to people who are used to having continuous access to you. Notify them of your schedule changes in a professional manner and reiterate that limiting your availability will improve your ability to meet their needs more effectively when you are “on the clock.”

5. Think carefully about where you live.
 Even if you can’t choose your city, you can choose your neighborhood. Do so with your ideal work-life balance in mind.

6. Turn off technology.
With smartphones and increasing demands on workers, we now live in an “always on” culture. However, you have power over your devices. Be intentional about turning them off (not just on silent) and taking technology breaks. It will help you tremendously by keeping you more focused during your productive periods.

7. Manage your energy, not your time. 
Instead of trying to schedule every minute of your time and push through your low-energy cycles, schedule your tasks according to your energy. Do lower-energy administrative tasks when you’re in a lull, and more important work when you’re energized.( i remember my former boss used to tell us, nothing productive can be accomplished after 12.p.m)

happy week.

NEW YEAR, NEW MIND

Its 2018. Am grateful to God for allowing me and my family, friends to see this year. 2017, was quite a long, challenging year for me, my mind was a battlefield that hosted the many wars that were in me, i felt helpless most of the time and it was as if everything was not working out. But at the end of the year, i was constantly telling myself that i needed to step in 2018 with a changed mind, changed attitude towards everything that has been battling in my mind, changed view of how i see life, changed mind on how i see myself and life generally. I just wanted to take control of my mind, and every situation that i can possibly control and the hardest i leave them to God. Now a new year, does not necessary make everything new, nor does the movement of the clock produce the newness of life , it is the movement in your mind that gives newness to life. Our biggest enemy we have in our lives is 'ourselves', in what we think, in what we have in our minds, and unless we take ...
