What do satisfied working women know about work/life balance that
the rest of us can learn from? CareerWomen.com
has identified five top
strategies based on advice from their viewers.
- Budget your time both in and out of the office - Schedule your
time
efficiently at work. Put yourself on your calendar and take some time
for you and your family/friends.
- Leave work on time at least three days per week - There are times
when working late just can't be helped, but schedule your time to leave
on time three days per week.
- Control interruptions and distractions - Stay focused while in
the
office, and budget your time effectively. Try to schedule a block of
time during the day without meetings when you can focus on your tasks
with minimal interruptions.
- Explore the availability of flex-time - Research flex-time
options
within your organization. If available, it may be a helpful solution.
- Seize the weekend - Plan your time off as you plan your work
week.
Schedule activities with family and friends, a weekend trip, or just
something fun. Make your time away from work count!
