As entrepreneurs(创业者), we had a vision, we realized it, and now we (run) our own companies. But the dream can damage our "work-life balance."
When the success of the company rests on your shoulders, you've always got an excuse to put else on hold.
What I've learned (face) the demands of start-up company and a young family over the past couple of decades is that sometimes the best way to solve the work-life balance problem is to think small. Make a handful of lifestyle corrections , individually, may not sound all that exciting, but taken together can prevent you from getting too tried.
Here's my list of life hacks that will help prevent exhaustion:
Work from home one day a week
Few thing give you a more grounded, in-control feeling than getting things done in your own space and at your own pace. Instead of leaving the office (clear) my head over a Starbucks coffee, I can fold the laundry, and cut back on evening housework.
Not to mention, working is pajamas is one of life's (underestimate) pleasures.
Pencil in time for exercise
It really bothered me with the demands of company and family, my tennis game was going down the drain. That may sound unimportant, but it wasn't to me, it was a meaningful part of my life outside of work. To get some balance back in my life, I rearranged my schedule. Two mornings a week, I woke up an hour (early) to work out with a tennis coach. If sports aren't your thing, try yoga or that hobby that you always loved but let go of after starting your business.
Learn something new, outside the office
It can draining to always be the person who's supposed to have the answers as a business leader. It's surprisingly liberating to be an on the other side, (30) (absorb) knowledge without the pressure to perform or to always be right.
