48. 4 ways to improve your work-life balance  Below, we've compiled tips for improving your work-life balance [ 5 ]. You can begin trying out one at a time or implementing a few at once. Remember that finding an approach that works for you is a process and will take time.  

49. . Pause and evaluate Taking time out to understand how the various parts of your life are impacting one another is a necessary step in developing a new work-life integration that serves your needs. Pause and consider your current work-life situation; ask yourself how you feel. Some questions you might reflect on include: Am I spending enough quality time doing what I really want?  Am I committing enough time and energy to people or things that are meaningful to me?  Do I still feel aligned to my professional or personal goals? Why or why not? Where do I feel the most stuck? What is it about this situation that makes me feel that way? As you think through these complex personal questions, journaling your thoughts and feelings can be a good way to identify the areas you feel need the biggest adjustments. Ultimately, these questions should help you gain greater clarity on your current situation. 

50. . Assess your priorities 2 Once you have a better sense of what you'd like to adjust, you'll want to begin identifying what you want to prioritize. Some questions you might ask yourself include:  What really matters to me and am I doing enough of it?  Where can I make compromises? Where can’t I? Where have I been making too many compromises? What are some alternative actions I can take to ensure I am devoting enough time and energy to my goals and relationships? Where can I integrate my responsibilities so I honor more than one at the same time?

51. Establish boundaries Establishing boundaries is a crucial part of time management. And communicating those boundaries will be equally important. If you can no longer respond to emails promptly after hours because you're with your family, your team will need to know. Work boundaries fall into one of three categories—physical, emotional, or time. Start by setting small boundaries and expand from there. Learn more about  how to set better boundaries at work .

52. Time management 3. Now that you know what your priorities are—whether that's spending more time at work to aim for a promotion or cutting back on after-hours emails by establishing boundaries—it's important to figure out how to better manage your time. Review how you currently spend your time and look for ways to adjust your schedule where possible. You can "chunk" your time as a way to focus on one area at a time, or use a matrix system to establish your priorities when new tasks pop up unexpectedly. Learn more about  how to manage your time  to boost your productivity and well-being.

53. Reflect, refine, repeat  Whatever actions you decide are needed to create a good work-life balance, though, you should be conscious of the fact that you will likely need to continue to refine it over time. Big life changes can take time, so reflecting on your approach and refining it periodically will likely be integral parts of the process.
