I often find myself driven by various challenges. When deadlines are tight and work pressure is high, do you have any good suggestions for maintaining a healthy work-life balance?

Wake up as early as you can and feel confortable and leave 1,2 hours early than usual. Works for me. Morning time is 2x productive for me. No chats, no calls, no distractions. :)

Thanks for the tip! Waking up early sounds like a great idea, but my bed might stage a protest. 😂 I’ll give it a try and see if I can become a morning productivity ninja like you!
My only suggestion would be: "Let go of things you can't control". We often take too much responsibility for the things we have no power over. Reevaluate what are the things you can do, and prioritise them. Delegate the rest.

Great advice! Letting go of things we can't control is definitely a game-changer. It's amazing how much stress we can avoid by focusing on what's within our power.
How do you decide what to delegate and what to prioritize in your own workflow?
@founder_daksh I am a founder of the design agency. I take three main priorities for the day, and the rest of the To-do list is passed on to my Project Manager and then the team.
@gene_nemirovsky That's great.. I am also an owner of service based IT company in which we develop SaaS product for our clients. It is just like a design agency just for developer, so I will try this model for sure.
shutdown evey job related app

Shutting down every job-related app? Genius! My phone might go into shock from the sudden lack of notifications, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make for my sanity. 😂 Any tips on surviving the initial withdrawal symptoms?
Good question! For me is very important to set realistic expectations, delegating tasks when possible, and taking regular breaks to recharge can help prevent burnout and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
@sanja_micic Great points! Setting realistic expectations and delegating tasks are key. Regular breaks are something I often overlook but definitely need to incorporate more. Do you have any favorite methods or tools for task delegation?
@founder_daksh One of my favorite methods is breaking down tasks into smaller, manageable chunks. As for tools, project management platforms like Asana can streamline the delegation process. Both personal and business tasks.
@sanja_micic Thanks for the tips! Breaking tasks into smaller chunks sounds like a great strategy, and I’ve heard good things about Asana. I'll definitely give it a try for both personal and business tasks. How often do you revisit and adjust your task lists?
I think it's important to set boundaries. If you are not happy and totally stressed you won't be productive either. Rather look at your mental health as well and find a good balance. For that it's important to say no and to plan your free time. Do sports as an appointment. Plan something with friends or write your Me time in the calendar
@julia_engelsmann Great advice! Setting boundaries is crucial for maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
I love the idea of scheduling sports and 'Me time' like appointments. It’s a proactive way to ensure we take care of our mental health. How do you stay disciplined about sticking to these plans?
Balancing life and work is like writing code - it takes patience, debugging, and the occasional restart. Maybe throw in some coffee for good measure!
