Hi Majdi, If you are someone that finds visual aids useful, it may be useful to time block. I find it really helpful to write out a daily schedule, as this allows me to clearly see whether I’m taking on too much, and makes it easier to block out time for breaks. Sometimes a busy week at work can feel super overwhelming, so it can be really useful to have a set finish time on your daily schedule, to ensure that you put your laptop away at the end of the working day and take a break. If I don’t plan my day out in advance, it’s easy for the end of the working day to get later and later, often to the detriment of work/life balance. It’s also really important to communicate if you find yourself struggling with work/life balance - this can be through having a clear line of communication with your manager, but can also just be through taking a coffee break with a colleague to help you to feel less overwhelmed.
