Balancing my work and home life has been a challenge over the year and, to be honest, I still don’t have it all figured out.
Something that I have to be intentional about is how I spend my time when I am at home. When I’m at home, I have the busy schedule of the children, chores, and trying to find the time to rest and take care of myself.
What I have learned is to take my PTO days when needed. Trying to be an over-achiever and working while I’m sick is not a priority for my nowadays. Also, when I clock out, on time might I add, I don’t bring any work home with me. The past few years have taught me that being a workaholic won’t necessarily cause my managers and bosses to appreciate me. I had to learn how to set those boundaries, so I wasn’t so burnt out when I got home.
When I’m home, I try my best to be intentional about the time that I spend with my family. I don’t want to take these times for granted. Lately, when everyone goes to bed, I’ve been using that time to unwind and try to get as much rest that I can before the start of a new day.
