When things are busy and you’ve got a lot on your plate, achieving work-life balance can seem like an impossible task. Maybe you’re trying to squeeze in extra shifts because you’re saving up for something big, or forgetting to make time for little things – like seeing your friends or going to your kids’ football match. We all struggle with work-life balance from time to time. So, how can we improve it?
Plan and organise your time
As a courier on the JET network – you can take control of your time and your working hours because we’re flexible. But what use is that if you don’t plan and organise your time properly?
Why not set aside ten minutes every week to plan out what you’re doing each day, and when you’ll be working too? That way you can make sure you build in time for family, exercise, and chilling out too.
Recognise your limits
Working as much as you possibly can to earn some extra cash might seem like a good idea at the time – but make sure you know your limits. It’s important to have breaks and time to rest in between working. This not only allows you to recharge, but also gives you more quality me-time and creates a better work-life balance.
Prioritise the big things, and the little ones too
It’s easier to recognise the importance of taking time for your best friend’s wedding, or your kid’s birthday, but what about all the little things too?
Sometimes it can seem like a coffee date with a friend or walking the dog aren’t as important as some other big life events. But the little things can make a big impact on your mental health and also make up a big part of your work-life balance. So next time you think about skipping them, remember they’re an important part of a happy, healthy and fulfilled life.
