How to get well along with people

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!

Plan, Be Kind: Tips for a Healthy Work-Life Balance

En montagne
Deux petites tortues partent en montagne. Elles ont décidé d'escalader Le Mont Blanc. C'est une très haute montagne. Son sommet touche presque le ciel!
Comme il fait froid, elles ont des bonnets de laine et de grosses bottines à lacets. Les tortues marchent très lentement.
Des pierres roulent, une tortue glisse… Vite, son amie lui lance une corde, elle l'attrape avec son bec et se hisse jusqu'en haut! Il faut du courage, c'est dur d'arriver au sommet.
Enfin, le voilà! Le soleil brille sur la neige, l'air est froid et sec. Les tortues fatiguées se reposent et admirent le paysage avant de redescendre. Elles reviendront bientôt, c'est si beau!
