Work/Life Balance 7

1. Talk to your partner about what 'work/life balance' means and agree some guidelines.
2. Switch off more: background TV, Blackberry...
3. Create zones of peace: physical e.g. the bedroom and/or time-based e.g. after 1900.
4. Stop multi-tasking e.g. checking e-mail and talking about your day.
5. Be here now. Otherwise at work you want to be at home and at home you are worrying about work.
6. Realise you cannot do everything so prioritising vs. pay-off is crucial.
7. Accept that you will never have enough time: make choices.
