People who spend long hours at work create the impression that they are more devoted to their work and therefore more valuable employees for their companies. But what about the devotion to family? Many busy people feel that they should devote more time to their family. In practice, however, they are not very successful in it. If you really want to balance your work and family, family should be made your priority. What specifically does it mean?
1. Set your goals
Write down your professional and personal goals and share them with your family. Then discuss what is important for other members of your family. Everyone should have the opportunity to realize his goals.
2. Take care of yourself
Make a commitment to excercise at least half an hour a day. Regular exercise during the week gives you more energy to give your family on weekends.
3. Participate in your children's activities
Make a commitment to attend as many activities as possible. You will gain not only the reason for early returning from work, but especially stronger family relationships.
4. Meet at the dinner
Common dinners will do a lot for your work-life balance. Again, you will have a reason for leaving work early and it will ensure you a regular family time. In addition, it is a good opportunity for discussion with children about what they experienced.
5. Do not bring your work home
Even if you need to finish some work in the evening, follow the rule to turn off your cell phone and computer during the dinner, bath time, storytelling time and other moments that require full concentration on your children.
