Here Are The Most Critical Strategies To Achieve It"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">An important question I get asked all the time from students around the world is this: how do you find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/finding-balance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">perfect work-life balance<\/a>? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Is it possible to reach the highest levels of success while maintaining happy personal relationships, great health, and so on?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m here to tell you that yes, it\u2019s possible \u2014 but it requires a heck of a lot of balance and effort!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Here\u2019s a personal example:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I was at my home in Hawaii, and I\u2019d scheduled five hours Monday through Thursday afternoons for writing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Can you figure out how much writing I did after three months?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If your calculations added up to ZERO, you are correct! My life was definitely not balanced, and it felt pretty awful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The plan had seemed like a good idea, but in reality, that kind of little-bit-every-day regularity isn\u2019t how I write. Never has been. My mind had set me up for failure, which then made me feel bad about myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What <i>does<\/i> work for me? Spending a solid chunk of time someplace different, secluded, and distraction-free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So I blocked off one whole month in Lake Tahoe, and BOOM. Unlike with my original plan, now I was excited to write. In the end, I followed through, everything flowed, and there was no beating myself up about anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To me, that\u2019s balance. For you, it might look totally different, and that\u2019s fine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The good news is that I\u2019ve found a few key strategies <i>everyone <\/i>can use to create a work-life balance that feels right.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Strategy #1: Know How You Work Best<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A consistent person is good with a regular schedule like my original writing plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A burst person works best when they dedicate bigger chunks of time like I did with my month in Lake Tahoe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s also possible to have a combination of these two styles. For example, I burst with writing, but I\u2019m great at being consistent with my morning exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You\u2019ve got to know what works for you and stick to that as much as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Do that, and you\u2019ll be happier, more productive, and more efficient, which means you\u2019ll have more time to spend on other priorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Speaking of\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5639\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5639\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5639\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2018\/05\/Running-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/05\/Running-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/05\/Running-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/05\/Running-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/05\/Running.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5639\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>You\u2019ve got to know what works for you and stick to that as much as possible<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Strategy #2: The Big Rocks Method<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A \u201cbig rock\u201d is a priority, such as family, romantic relationships, friendships, personal projects, health, etc. They\u2019re not going anywhere, nor should they. They\u2019re your MUSTS, and they\u2019re non-negotiable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But here\u2019s a really important thing to keep in mind: <b>just because your big rocks are all equally important doesn\u2019t mean they require equal time<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What matters is that you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/balancing-work-family\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">devote QUALITY time to each<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Maybe you decide you\u2019ll spend one hour each night with your kids. Maybe you have a weekly date night. Maybe you exercise 30 minutes at some point during the day. Maybe you dedicate time during the weekend for personal projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The goal is to make sure you\u2019re attending to ALL your big rocks on a regular basis and being fully present when you do. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Knowing you\u2019ve spent quality time on all your priorities, even if it\u2019s not as much time as you\u2019d ideally like, will help immensely with your sense of balance.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5638\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5638\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5638\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2018\/05\/family-quality-time-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/05\/family-quality-time-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/05\/family-quality-time-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/05\/family-quality-time-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/05\/family-quality-time.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5638\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>The goal is to make sure you\u2019re attending to ALL your big rocks (your priorities in life) on a regular basis and being fully present when you do.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b> Strategy #3: Setting Boundaries And Maintaining Flexibility<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Boundaries&#8230;<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Having strong boundaries means being clear about when you\u2019re available and when you\u2019re not. This applies both to communicating with others <i>and<\/i> to holding yourself accountable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">During my month in Lake Tahoe, I turned down invitations, meetings, and phone calls. The only exception was time with family \u2014 worth it because they\u2019re a big rock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Defining and sticking to your boundaries helps you focus better on the task, experience, or interaction on hand, meaning the time you spend will be QUALITY<i> <\/i>time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Flexibility&#8230;<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is real life, and stuff happens, so it\u2019s important to be able to go with the flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you\u2019ve got young kids or elderly parents, you may have to work around their needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you\u2019re an employee, you may have to go with the schedule you\u2019re given or work overtime to get a project done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you have a health issue, you may have to take full advantage of the time you <i>do<\/i> feel up for work, relationships, or personal stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s totally possible to be flexible and still maintain balance. Just keep going back to those big rocks, and set those boundaries wherever you can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the end, <b>balance is all about doing what you need to do when you need to do it <\/b>AND also knowing how you work best, dedicating quality time to your priorities, and setting firm yet flexible boundaries. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This will all help you immensely with balancing your life effectively. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And the good news is that you can get started right now! <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Tell me, are you a burst, consistent, or combo person?
