Managerial work is hard work requiring full concentration, it is often difficult for your brain to turn off. When this extends into your personal life, it is not at all healthy. However, some management thinking may even be ideal for the home. Or so is the advice from the members of the Young Entrepreneur Council in the SmartBlogs website. they shared their experience with the spare time management and prepared the following advice:
1. Keep an eye on priorities
You remember 100 % of your work tasks, but sometimes it just happens that you forget shopping, to get to dinner on time or to even pick up the kids from kindergarten. It is now too late. Stock up with a stickers and stick your notes up everywhere you will see them.
2. Work is fun
As we have published earlier in one of our article. The work-life balance is not as popular as earlier. It is preferable, especially for entrepreneurs and very busy people to integrate these two areas. The important thing is not to define your job as only a source of livelihood, but to learn to like your job. Bring a bit of your personality and personal life into it.
3. Create non-work commitments
You are tied up with job commitments and obligations on all sides.To maintain a healthy balance, make some commitments outside the job. Do you love to play sports or want go out more with your friends? Then do it, regularly.
4. Make a list
Write down everything you want to do in your spare time and then cross out two thirds. Now it is manageable. Choose your tasks by their importance and do some before the next working day.
5. Divide your time by "on" and "off"
Do you feel relaxed every time you go outside of civilization, where there is no electricity or mobile connection? You can do the same in your personal life. Your box is filled 24/7 with emails, but it does not mean that you have to deal with them 24/7. Promise to be the most productive during the working time and just relax in leisure time. Nights and weekends are yours. If you still feel the need to respond "to it all", set aside a specific time of a day (maybe 20 minutes before bedtime), when you can deal with new messages.
6. Recap your day
Report what you have done during the day. A check list of activities you have completed that day forces your brain to switch from work mode. You do not have to think of more tasks when you have sent your completed checklist.
7. Respect the social boundaries
There are certain places or times inappropriate to solving some issues. Just as it is inappropriate to plan a weekend trip with your partner during working hours, you should not deal with work obligations during a family dinner.
