 1. Establish Priorities: Determine what is most important to you and your family. Take some time to sit down and make a list. Think about your short-term and long-term goals. What can you realistically accomplish in the next year? Five years? Once you have established your priorities, you can start making a plan to achieve them.

2. Set Boundaries: One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to set boundaries between work and home life. When you are at work, focus on work. When you are at home, focus on your personal life. It is important to have time for yourself and your family. If you find yourself working too much, try setting aside specific days or hours that are for “work” only.

You have more energy and feel overall happier. So, if you're struggling to find a balance, don't give up! Keep trying until you find something that works for you.
