Make your work-life balance more effective and productive

By Deep Lalvani

New Delhi, April 8 (SocialNews.XYZ) Productivity is the key to every entrepreneur's life. However, in this constant need to be productive and meet daily targets, one tends to lose out on the work-life balance that we so strongly advocate for our employees/teams to follow.

It becomes essential for us to realise that no matter how many investors or how much we have, our health remains at the centre of our life and business. It may not seem very difficult to put in long hours at work, sleep less, and even skip meals at times to make sure your work is done and your business does not suffer. But failing to take care of yourself can have far-reaching effects on your business. Your health has to be a significant priority, and there are things you can do daily to improve your health overall. So, if you want to take care of your most precious asset, aka your health, then please consider following some tips I am about to share.

1. Habits and hobbies

The first and most important tip is to understand that balance is key. While your work makes you happy mentally, you also need to stay in touch with activities and hobbies that make you physically and mentally healthy. It could be baking, swimming, music, a good run or a walk, but it has to be something that keeps you active and makes you happy and satisfied.

2. Eat that frog

It is important to learn how to prioritise your tasks, whether they are professional or personal. Eat that frog basically implies that you do a daunting task first so it's out of your way and doesn't stress you. Make a list of things with regard to their priority and follow it. Another thing you need to accept is that even as an entrepreneur/owner of a business, you most certainly cannot be present in all places. Divide and delegate work to employees, so you don't end up stressing yourself.

3. Substantial eating

At Sublime Life, we believe in leading a clean, healthy life, be it in the products that you use or the food that you consume. For your brain to function efficiently, you have to think about the impact specific foods will have on your physical and mental state. Eating well does not only keep your body healthy but also promotes sharper thinking, builds immunity, and protects you from common illnesses. Clean eating can have many benefits for your mind, body, and skin.

What are the key elements to maintaining a work-life balance? Eating well, staying healthy, prioritising tasks, participating in hobbies, taking breaks, and smiling.
