Balancing Your Life

It is 4:30 in the afternoon, and you are at work. You haven't eaten all day, and you are starving. You're ready to go home, but first you need to run to the grocery store because there is nothing to eat at home. You also have something to drop off somewhere, but you can't remember what… what was it….?

If this sounds familiar, you are most likely over-working yourself. Welcome to the 99.9% club of working folk! Would you like to make an attitude adjustment with high payoff, a clearer mind, and reduced stress?  Whether you're overwhelmed by unfocused mental activity, have become sidetracked by emotional concerns, or simply want to improve your intellectual performance, the following tips will help you think, work, and feel better.

Plan worry time. When you find your mind drifting into worry, force yourself to put it off until a later time. Focus on the task at hand and only allow yourself to worry during the car ride home. If you must, write down your worries and check back with them later!

Separate your worries into categories: The worries that are real and the worries that may never happen. Many people have trouble putting their worries into perspective, and end up wasting valuable time agonizing over events that never come to pass. By dividing up your worries, you can focus on the ones that really matter and come up with solutions that you'll actually use.

Learn to say no. The worst thing you can do is overwork yourself. Overextending your efforts leads to    stress, exhaustion, forgetfulness, and a plethora of other ailments. Limit yourself to only a few tasks that you can realistically handle, and refuse to become "one of those people" whom others can always go to, always ask for favors, etc.

Create an oasis for yourself at home (or away from the office) to mentally get away. When you come home in the evening, what do you find yourself wanting to do the most? If that includes relaxing on the patio with a drink, then design that space to be as relaxing, fulfilling, and non-work related as possible!

Everyone has to learn how to juggle their own life. As an extremely meticulous and detail-oriented person, I have had to teach myself through try-and-fail experiences how to focus on large jobs and leave the small things at the door. If you can truly accomplish the points I've discussed above, you'll be any employer's best and most valuable asset!
