Here's how you can maintain work-life balance in a high-stress career.

Setting boundaries is very important for a healthy life for you and your loved ones. The best way to do that while also building strong relationships with co-workers, partners, clients, and vendors is to talk about life priorities when meeting with them. It's a great ice-breaker and you'll find that everyone has priorities outside of work (e.g., family events ("driving to my brother's house to see his new baby this weekend"), time off plans ("tonight I'm cleaning up the house since I have friends coming over tomorrow"), etc.). It humanizes you... makes people see you as a person with other responsibilities instead of just someone they call to have something done at work.

The most critical factor in maintaining a healthy work-life balance, especially in high-stress environment, is discipline. It might sound cliché, but it truly isn't. Discipline to me means: - Establishing a clear boundary between work hours and personal time. - Not bringing work worries home with you. - Leaving domestic issues at the door when you head to work. - Making time for your family, who are, after all, the reason you're working so hard. It took me a ten years in my career to learn this lesson. The wake-up call came when a close friend lost his mother. He had been so consumed with work and growth ambitions that he hadn't seen her in months. He achieved his professional goals, but at a devastating personal cost. Hope this helps !

Setting yourself with timelines when you will switch between work and personal tasks are important, if you keep mixing up both then it is obvious you are not organised

It is very important to set boundaries in the corporate world. We do understand that at times there are demand or situations where you have to cross the set boundaries but always ensure you are not compromising too much on this aspect....or making it as part of your life

To maintain work-life balance in a high-stress career, set clear boundaries between work and personal time. Prioritize self-care activities, such as exercise and hobbies, to recharge. Regularly assess your workload and delegate tasks when necessary to prevent burnout.

Prioritizing work at the expense of our own health can lead to a toxic cycle of stress, anxiety, and physical illness. I believed that I need to sacrifice in order to be successful in my career, thinking that it is weak to admit that I am struggling with my mental and physical health, but at certain point I knew that I should listen to my body and health. I saw a doctor and he gave me a medical leave to get enough rest and treatment. He also advised that I should eat healthy and follow a balanced diet, have good quality sleep, and spare some time to exercise once I recover. We should not feel guilty or selfish about prioritizing our life over work, we are simple priming ourselves to do the best we can to function and to serve others.

Prioritization & reprioritization of tasks based on everyday urgencies can help manage stressful work - It should also be balanced with a good health related prioritization (exercise, meditation). Also, a good hobby developed and followed keeps the work stress at bay

Set a Routine: Establish a daily schedule that includes time for exercise, meals, work, and relaxation. Healthy Eating: Plan and prepare nutritious meals and snacks to fuel your body and mind. Adequate Sleep: Ensure you get quality sleep each night to support overall health and productivity. Stress Management: Practice stress-relief techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or hobbies you enjoy. Take Breaks: Schedule regular breaks during your workday to stretch, walk, or relax your mind. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated. Social Connections: Maintain relationships with friends and family to support your emotional well-being.Regular HealthCheck ups will help you monitor & maintain ur health

Totally agree to all of those, but I do think you need to be disciplined also with any of these but also downtime for yourself, whatever that is, my downtime is my family and my dogs.

Time management is crucial on maintaining work-life balance. By developing a tailored schedule according to your professional needs, you can excel in identifying priorities and allocate time based on relevance. Lack of organisation and time management is what more often than less leads to procrastination throughout work hours which as a result develops an unbalanced work-life relation

¿Alguna vez has intentado hacer muchas cosas a la vez y al final no has terminado ninguna? Imagina esto: tienes un frasco vacío. Primero, llénalo de pelotas de pingpong. ¿Cuántas caben? Ahora, agrega frijoles; por último, intenta meter arroz. ¿Qué pasó? El arroz apenas encuentra espacio. Lo mismo ocurre con nuestro tiempo y atención. Las pelotas de pingpong son las tareas importantes, los frijoles las menos importantes y el arroz las distracciones. Si intentamos hacer todo a la vez, las tareas importantes (las pelotas de pingpong) quedan aplastadas o no alcanzaran a entrar en el envase. Enfócate en una tarea a la vez. Prioriza las tareas más importantes. Elimina distracciones. Descansa la mente, necesitas pausas para recargarse.

Staying organised in your profession is the key. When we are organised we can set our boundaries/time lines/work schedules and follow them to the T. Then take out time for one self. Which means time for your soul and also time for family. These reduce anxiety and improve productivity at work.

Recharging is vital. People sometimes misinterpret the concepts of grit, tenacity or resiliency as the need to have inexhaustible wells that can be drawn from which science shows is a fallacy. People need to be able to fully disengage, recharge and then come back to the field of battle, not work themselves (or expect themselves to work) to a point of burnout and an empty well

Aside of our perspectives, still the differences among our interpersonal skills and the variant levels of capabilities for each and every one of us is the key word... Even defining the needed level of balance is based on those capabilities ... Satisfaction comes from the mindset of our capability to handle business and social lives together.

Little breaks in-between a week, or a day of demanding activities should be present within the teams. It doesn’t have to be a time-off or a holiday to make your team recharge, albeit essential that it should also happen. A 10 minute coffee check-in session with your team members where you talk about something else outside of work, makes a huge impact on how you can possibly reset an overheating machine (in this case, your people). Moreover, gestures of recognizing their hardwork truly helps. A simple pat on the back, even without any lip service, creates a huge and positive difference.

Being able to work remotely has allowed me to prioritize a healthy work-life balance. I make sure to literally schedule in self-care whether it is exercising, doing activities that I enjoy, and normalizing taking off to reset. I make sure to have my set work hours when working remotely as there is a tendency sometimes to work more if a schedule is not set. For me incorporating these simple tips in my day helps to keep me balanced and me living my best life!

Balance is the key word here. Just as each person has different values and morals, so too will each person have different weights assigned to the items that are being balanced on this scale. What I would say, is that what is important to do, is to walk within your own mental palace, for you to identify the items that you wish to have included in your basket of items to be balanced. Then from there to assign a weight to each one. From there you can then start on your journey of finding “your” balance.
