Work-Life-Balance
The balance between family and work is not always easy for people without family responsibilities. You are often asked to do more than you can afford in your profession. A work-life balance will then be difficult. The aim of work-life balance is to reconcile working life and private life. There are different ones for this. possibilities, both for physical and psychological balance.
Neglecting your own private life seriously affects your health. The consequences are often burnout or signs of exhaustion such as tinnitus. It is alleged that neglecting your private life does not put a job at risk, but that is wrong. As soon as your health suffers, your performance at work, in addition to family and friends, suffers. It is important that you set goals that you can achieve.
After the tension at work, relaxation is required: take a bath, listen to relaxation music, spend some sport during housework, spend time with children or friends and the like. Make fixed dates for cinema, theater, sports, food etc. These appointments should be just as important to you as your professional. Time management is the most important thing here. Planning your appointments accurately and correctly brings time for private things. Physical health is also important. Do sports, eat healthily and take time out.
