Work-Life Balance

Do you live to work, or work to live? Work is a necessary evil, but if you can get the right balance between work and your life, the journey can be more rewarding for you.

Work-life balance is the relationship between your work and the other important things in your life, like your family, sport and social life, household chores, volunteer commitments and so on. If you feel like you have enough time for all of these things in your life, you probably have a good work-life balance.

There’s no universal formula for work-life balance. It’s different for everyone, because every situation is different and unique. And it’s also likely to change as your work, family and other responsibilities change.

  • Feel more in control of your time;
  • Better able to make decisions and meet work commitments;
  • Feel more healthy and help prevent burnout;
