Here are 6 steps to help you achieve work-life balance:
1. Identify Determine what is and who are the most important things and people in you life. This will help you figure out what/who to include and exclude in your schedule.
2. Get Organized

3. Ask Ask yourself: What changes would make my life easier? Instead of doing it all focus on what’s most important to you. You don’t and can’t do everything so ask for help. Whether it’s taking out the garbage or filling out paperwork, think about where in your life you need help and ask for assistance.
4. Progress not perfection Let go of perfection and focus on progress. Learn from and accept your mistakes and realize that life is far too complicated to do everything perfectly. Practice self-compassion by realizing that we are all imperfect beings. Embrace yourself and exactly as you are and your life exactly as it is.
5. Set boundaries Leave work at work. Unplug. Create space and give yourself permission to relax.
6. Practice self-care Make self-care a priority. Take time to exercise, have fun, eat right, sleep and chill. You can’t thrive in your career and care for those you love if your own tank is empty. In the words of Hillary Clinton (who has mastered the balancing act) “Don’t confuse having a career with having a life.” While work is like a rubber ball – you drop it, it bounces back – the other important areas of your life – family, health, spirit, friends – are fragile. Take care of them so they don’t shatter beyond repair.
