In this
fast paced life, 24 hours seem way less than what we require! Either we are not
able to do justice to our work or we miss spending adequate time with family
and if we are able to somehow manage the above too, there is no ME time.
Time
Management hence becomes one of the most important aspects, which helps to
manage your professional, personal, social life. I came across this article in
Reward ME – “8 Ways To A Work-LifeBalance” - https://www.rewardme.in/family/child-and-you/article/8-ways-to-a-work-life-balance,
which provides simple but effective solutions to manage your time efficiently.
The
article was very helpful as it was written in a very simple way without usage
of any so called management lingo making it an interesting read or else most of
the articles become very boring. While
reading the article, I felt that it was written for me J as most of the points covered are exactly the
issues which I face in my daily life. Moreover, I felt that if I can try and
use some of the solutions mentioned in the article it will help me cut down on
a significant part of the issues faced by me as I find myself doing a lot of
things at the same time.
The
article also captures how technology has really shrunk boundaries and how
social media has taken over our lives. Most people are seen fiddling with their
smart phones while spending time together which is not correct. Also with
advancement in technology, all of us have started bringing work home in form of
emails, con-calls etc. When the technology was not so advanced (which was not
too long back, especially in India), everything used to get done. We can still
continue with the same philosophy, but in the heed to achieve fast career
growth, we tend to give our professional work higher priority over all other
equally or more important stuffs in our lives.
The
article also provides how you can give some time to your family, spouse, and
children every day, which will help you maintain a fine balance between work
and personal life. The ideas mentioned are very simple and it felt, why and how
did I miss some of these things. It also touches upon a very important point on
Me-Time. We almost forget to give ourselves time which is very important for
introspection so following our hobbies which is important for satisfying your
inner needs.
The
article finally makes the killing by bouncing the ball in your court by asking
the most important question “What you
want from your life”. Most of us know this but dread to answer this
question, as we know that we are not doing what we feel or want to do.
We have
just one life and there are a lot of things to do or not to do. But staying
happy and enjoying with the ones we cherish should be the most important thing.
And I feel, once we decide this and try to live by this rest everything will
fall in place.
Well, the
article was really helpful and thought provoking, however the same would not be
possible but for RewardMe. RewardMe presents a platform to general public and
not necessarily bloggers, to give their views from their personal lives, which
are more relevant than any fictional write-ups or stories. Thanks RewardMe for
being an ally as without you, I would not have come across this wonderful
article which will help me sort out some of the issues in my life.
