Work-life balance. That’s something that is not easy to achieve for everyone. Even if you may love your job, working 24/7 is not an option, not for the long run at least and by working longer than you should, you will soon find yourself burnt-out . So finding a balance between the time you spend working and the one you meet friends, exercise, do your hobbies or just lay back and watch some TV, is essential for your happiness, sanity health and productivity. Of course is sometimes hard to understand when is time to wind-down especially if the workload is pressing or we often feel too busy to call friends and organize a meeting. However the solution may be found in the palm of your hands as many apps both for Android iOS are offering amazing solutions to those struggling to find a balance between work and life. If you are one of those, then read on, you may find your life changing day by day!
Spot the Issues
Before finding the perfect balance of work and life for yourself, you need to first understand were you are standing now between the two. A routine tracking app will do the job for you, by measuring the time you spend at work, meeting with friends, commuting and everything else so you can analyze how you actually spend your days. Opt for TimeTune on Adroid or ATracker for iOS to get an analysis of your day to day schedule and spot the issues.
De- stress
Nothing is worse than stressing out when you are trying to find the right amount of relaxing and working in your life. Stress will make you not only less productive, but it will be harder for you to relax when you actually have the time to do so. Go for a meditation, relaxation and wellness app just like Pacifica that you can use to easy your mind, control your stress levels and handle hectic situations better than ever.
Socialize easier and faster
Remember that last time you said you were going to grab a coffee with that friend of yours, or with that cousin you love, or with your ex- roommate? Socializing and keeping in touch with friends and family is important as it keeps you grounded and happier. Sharing your news and concerns is the best way to de- stress. An app like Connect let’s you know where your contacts are at the moment, leaving no excuses for not grabbing a quick coffee with them.
Forth: Organize your time
Don’t loose your mind trying to remember the time and place you need to pick up someone or what to buy for dinner and the deadline of you next project, all at the same time. Use one app that brings everything together like Cozi, which includes a to-do list, calendar, shopping list, recipe manager and journal that you can share with everyone in your family.
