We asked our viewers: What advice would you give a friend who feels
they are not balancing their work and life? Here are a few of their
insightful responses.
“Even if you work long hours by choice or necessity, you have to try
to make the most of your time off. Plan an activity with family or
friends at least once a week. Exercise regularly; try to have dinner
with your spouse, family or a friend on a regular basis. Go to church,
enjoy being a spectator at a sports event, go for a long walk, help a
neighbor out... These things all keep your life in perspective no
matter how busy you are.”
“Love what you do. Find fulfillment in hard work.
And enjoy each day. Plan your life outside of work--don't just sit back
and hope something happens, make it happen!”
“My work is a part of my life. I'm in the early years of building my
career and want to move up quickly. I know that I need to establish
myself now, this is my decision. I work hard to accomplish a lot. It's
like an athlete, if you want to be at the top of the game, you have to
put in the hours--and be self-driven. If you enjoy what you do,
ultimately this contributes to your happiness and sense of fulfillment.”
“Enjoy your weekends. There's plenty of time to have a full life. I
hear so many people complain, but these are the ones that don't ever do
anything with their time off. Get up early and workout, after work
spend time with your family and friends. At least one weekend per
month, plan an activity. Live your life!”
“Work hard so you will be able to provide for your family. Hard work
is a good and admirable trait. The American economy has been built on
the efforts and hard work of those who have come before. I think too
many people are afraid of working hard. Yes, it does require
compromise, but what doesn’t?”
“Plan, prioritize & schedule better. Don't be afraid of hard work.”
