Work life balance has gained prominence in recent years.  A balance is equal tohealthy and satisfying lives both personally and professionally.  Youngsters often find difficulty in managing their work and personal life.  Rotation between nights and day shifts makes difficulty in focusing on simplest things.

So here are some tips to manage your work-life balance.

If you are not able to negotiate your thoughts to your employer look for another job which is less stressful, where you can manage your both work life and personal life.  Lack of communication is the main problem in every relationship.

• Slow down : Life is too short.  Spend time with your family members, friend.  Unplug yourself from the things which you make stressful. Be happy and make others happy.  Don’t dwell in your failures.  Remember, Life is like a photography we develop from negatives.

•  Time management :

Peter F. Drucker said, “Until we manage time we can manage nothing else.” Some people mainly suffer because they are not organized with their tasks properly.  Have a proper plan.  Spend time equally for you professional and personal life.
