Hi Guys! Episode 1 is about the Japanese words “iru/aru” and the animal counting system “hiki/tou”! Please note that this is not grammar, but everyday usage! Then, read Wikipedia for the correct description of mammals...;P

MONK MODE PROTOCOL

Olen kuullut monta kertaa ruotsin olevan suomea helpompaa, joten tässä jaksossa pohdin miksi opiskella ruotsia ja miten ruotsi eroaa suomesta. Suomi on kaksikielinen maa, joten kielitestin voi suorittaa joko suomenkielisenä tai ruotsinkielisenä. Onko suomea todella liian vaikea oppia?

Whether you live to work or you work to live, having a healthy work-life balance is good for both you and your employer.

Here are just a few ways to keep your balance healthy!

Plan
It can help to plan your time, making sure to include social activities in those plans, says Allaya Cooks-Campbell from job coaching website BetterUp.

Even scheduling a night in front of the TV is enough — it will give you a bit of time to switch off.

If you're able to, you could also plan to take short breaks during the day, and perhaps even use them to take a walk or read a few pages of a book.

Use apps to help
Cooks-Campbell also suggests using an app to block distracting websites during the work day — which might include things like social media.

You can then do the same in the evening and block work apps, if you find it difficult to stop checking them.

Be kind to yourself
It's important to be realistic about your work-life balance, and not to get too stressed if you don't follow your plan. That's according to Kate Eby from work management company Smartsheet.

Being kind to yourself, she says, can help you improve your mental health.

Talk to your boss
If you're finding it difficult to get your work-life balance right, speaking to your manager may be a good idea — although not everyone will feel comfortable doing this.

It may be that you have been given too much work to do, or there is a better way to do it — and talking to your boss could help you work smarter, not harder.

However, Cooks-Campbell says different things work for different people — so you have to find what's right for you!
