In a world that is constantly trying to change us, I think, it would do us good to know some work life balance tips to conquer the challenges of life and strike a healthy work life balance.

Many overachievers tend to develop perfectionist tendencies from a very young age which becomes hard to maintain as they grow old and life becomes more complicated. So it will do you good to understand that you cannot be everywhere all the time; perfectionism is a myth, really. Trying to be perfect all the time is inhuman and thus destructive in nature.
The key to maintain your calm is to ditch perfectionism; strive for excellence instead.
Technology should help make your life easier, not control it. Though technology makes workers accessible round the clock, learn how and when to ban it at times so that you can focus on your family life better.
Learn to prioritize work, personal or professional. Maintain a calendar or a journal to plan ahead so that you don’t miss out an important meeting with the client nor your daughter’s PTA. This will also help to keep a track of how much you have on your plate, and let go of some things. Perhaps it’s okay not to go for the building association meeting, if you are swamped! Perhaps your spouse should go for that PTA if it clashes with the date of an important client meeting – who says mom has to do all the parenting?
It is very important to have some “me” time; that way you can connect with yourself better. Respect this time in the same way as you would respect your colleague’s time. If you set aside for yourself or for your family, try not to bring work home; instead just relax.
Practice yoga or cook up a storm in the kitchen with your family or go for a massage or simply rest and sleep – choices are many, you see, depending on what works for you. You need this “me time” in order to be back with a bang, be more productive and focussed.
Follow these work life balance tips to get back the equilibrium in your life.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
