1. Personal Experiences :All the personal experiences with the passage of time lead us to improve one’s living standard where we need to setup every time our work / life balance, while nature already set it up even from the beginning of life 
on this earth.

2. What Nature tells us? As the Sun rises, all the living creatures on this earth open’s their eyes, take a deep breath and get ready for the survival. At the evening time, the Sun tries to cover its face behind the mountains which sets a notion for all the living creatures, go back to your home, that day ends. In the night time birds, animals, even plants takes rest and go to restore their energies.

3. Organized Time-Frame: When we organize work time-frame, we need to take care of all sorts and capacity to do it, whereas for life time-chart we have to care about all the aspects in our personal lives. It will be different for singles, different for the couples, similarly it will be further divided on age parameters.

If you’re single your time schedule will be different then a married one, so, you may spend much time with your work but under the limits of your working capacity. The young age people have much more energy than the old age to do a task and people are supposed to do a lot due to less family responsibilities. Sometimes, due to overwork one can adopt an aggressive attitude which needs to be neutralized by personal and leisure activities.

A spouse means equal partner of your personal life and definitely you have to give a proper time to your partner, so the time management should be accordingly. For the families with children work-life time balance will be different than single or newlywed people.

How to balance your work and life.

1. Choose the correct line of work. Your profile of work holds the most important spotlight when it comes to maintaining the balance. If the work that you do is what you love, making that balance is a way easier job. Choose to do what interests you, triggers you intellectually. Every work comes with its set of difficulties, deadlines and usual confusion. If you love what you do even all these negativity will seem positive aspects of the bigger picture. Always feel satisfied after a day at work even if it was exhausting.

2.Draw a line between professional and personal life. This is a very important thing that we either tend to overlook or stretch. There is a very famous saying "Stretch the elastic only till the extent the elasticity doesn't get lost". Maintain the demarcation and don't overlap. When it is work time, work like crazy, but don't compromise on family time. Remember, name, money, fame and job are all temporary. The only thing constant in all these phases is family and friends. If they get the time, love and attention, you will live a contented life.

3.There is a very thin line of difference between passion and greed. The passion to learn more and be the best is different from working like dogs to get the next promotion or a raise. If there is passion and fire in what you do, your family will respect you. If it is greed of money, power and position, you will loose them somewhere down the race and be left alone, so be passionate but not greedy.

4.Have the proper mindset. It’s all about the perspective. Sometimes just a small change in the way you view things can make a lot of difference. Set your priorities in order. Aim for contentment rather than filling the bank with mindless currency. Go for planned holidays, give a gift to your wife/husband, go for a football game with kids and at the same time put your heart and soul in work during office hours.

5.Look at life beyond professional achievements. Have a list of personal goals and keep striving to achieve them. Personal competency with respect to your family and personal enhancement is as important as professional competency. Keep your loved ones as happy as you try to keep your boss.

What is Work-life Balance?

Work-Life Balance is to maintain a balance between working hours and spending time with family members and friends. In other words, it means to spend an equal time between work life and social life.

~~ FUN FACT ~~

A law was made in United States that the average work week must only be sixty hours, however amendments were made so the limit is now fifty hours per week and Saturdays are either a day off or a half day’s work. That allows people to be able to spend more time with their family or friends, or perhaps some personal time with themselves.
