How do you maintain Work-Life balance?

I maintain my work-life balance by setting clear boundaries and managing expectations with my family. I prioritize tasks and take regular breaks to stay refreshed. Productivity tools help me use my time efficiently, allowing me to balance work and personal life smartly.

I turn off all work notifications after 6 PM and remove my work email on my phone. This works for me personally, even though I just tried it for a couple of months lately

I track my health data, especially sleep data, to understand my energy levels and schedule my day accordingly. When I'm highly energized, I tackle the most demanding tasks. As a biohacker and productivity enthusiast pursuing work-life balance, I've launched Lifestack, a calendar app that uses health data from wearables to help me schedule tasks when I perform best.

I maintain work-life balance by pretending my laptop’s battery dies after 6 PM and bribing myself with snacks to stay away from work emails. Works like a charm! 😅

An individual’s energy is limited, so in order to balance life, one must inevitably sacrifice some things at work. I chose to sacrifice substantial stable income and the sense of achievement from managing a large team. Instead, I gained some freedom and more time to spend with my family, which I believe is worthwhile.

Maintaining work-life balance is crucial. I find setting clear boundaries between work and personal time helps—establishing a routine with designated breaks, prioritizing tasks, and ensuring quality time for hobbies or relaxation. It's about creating harmony to stay both productive and refreshed.

Trying to work only 8 hours with focus and no weekends work. weekends are only for relax, family, friend and for myself.

Setting clear work hours and unplugging in the evening helps me a lot.

I work from home and sometimes during breaks I can chat with my family.

I limit my screen time after work. No emails, no Slack messages. It’s my time to unwind, read a book, or spend quality time with family and friends.

There are times (like yesterday and today - launch) where the balance doesn't seem to exist :D But during regular times, I don't have trouble with it :)

hard for me now

I have tried it multiple times, and I have always failed at this. So, I would be happy to learn from other people's experiences.

Spend time with family and friends, limit screen time (especially time on short videos/reels that are basically meaningless), and try to spend some time with nature everyday

Hi there, What really helps me is using calendar blocks. I used to only organize my workday with them, but now I also block out personal time for things like a proper lunch (not just a quick salad at my desk), taking a walk, reading, or doing something creative. The hardest part, though, is the mental shift. I try to treat these 'blocks' like I would treat a meeting with a friend: I’m on time and I don’t cancel last minute without a good reason. It's all about respecting those commitments to yourself. As the saying goes, 'Treat yourself like someone you love.' Hope this helps a bit!

It is difficult..

Set boundaries between work and personal life. Only work when it's working hour, the rest you should focus on your personal life such as hobby, pets, family, etc.
