These simple work life balance tips look at how we can maintain our sanity in the struggle between demands at work and home.
Some people say that it’s easy for them to maintain a balance between their work and their personal lives. However, in a new age of intense work conditions, many people find it difficult to cope with their job requirements as well as personal lives.
This could become strenuous if not properly handled and adequately balanced. Today various jobs, whether in Indian companies or multi-national companies (MNCs) demand the employee’s 24*7 availability at work with of course, new technologies and software too emerging on the scene.
Many of us want to reach the top and to excel at our careers, but in this quest, a person’s personal life is likely to be affected, leading to their losing out on mental and physical well-being.
People think that working 24*7, in order to gain recognition and to be made a benchmark for success, is not a big problem or issue, but it has its own impact when one is not able to connect with loved ones; in fact, we don’t have time for themselves too.
The most important thing we need is to develop the mental and emotional capacity and the right attitude to deal with challenges in one’s professional as well as personal life.
There are ways to achieve and maintain healthy personal relationships along with outstanding career growth. Here are some work life balance tips that I feel will be useful:
These become important especially for ambitious women with the capability of thinking and dreaming high. There is no denying that women have more hurdles such as taking care of children or elderly people in the family. However, having a supportive family by one’s side can definitely help overcome these hurdles. It is important for us to value our work just as we value each and every precious family member. I believe that a working mother is a good example for the kids, since they gain in confidence and independence by seeing their mother handling various tasks at different times. As women we shouldn’t underestimate ourselves – we are often capable of doing more than we think.
It is true that it sometimes becomes really difficult to be equally present in our professional and personal lives. We try our best, that our work or our family doesn’t miss out on us. But as the saying goes, ‘Where there’s a will, there’s a way’. I believe that there’s always some or other way, but we have to keep our senses working to see the coming opportunity. So let’s give the best of who we are, and enjoy and live up to every moment!

My house-help asked excitedly, “I am going for wedding. Can you let me wear your red & black saree? To be honest I was stumped for a moment; I didn’t know what to say but I still said yes.
I lent a gorgeous saree to my house-help for a wedding in her family. Soon I stated getting questions if I would wear that saree again or if I was okay to be seen wearing the same saree my house-help was wearing?
We are all so conditioned to give our used clothes to our house-helps but are we okay to wear the clothes they were wearing?
A few days ago she came excitedly to me, “I am going for a family wedding. I want to wear your red & black saree, Ill wash and give it to you after the function. Please can you let me wear it?”
Beauty is a very clever, very evil capitalist tool. It traps those who have it into hanging on to it for dear life and those who don't into mutilating, torturing themselves to achieve the unachievable.
I recently wrote a piece about MP Shashi Tharoor’s tweet in which he had shared a pic with six women parliamentarians tagging them and saying “Who says the Lok Sabha isn’t an attractive place to work?”
There was a rash of comments on the post shared on Instagram, which ranged from “chill, it’s just a compliment” and “stop overthinking compliments”, to (worried) men lamenting about “these feminazi”.
Here’s my answer to all those comments.
Marriage comes with lots of dreams, hopes, changes and uncertainties. Here are 8 reasons why you should discuss your career before marriage.
You read it correct! A supportive marriage is a must for a successful career, both for men and women, and particularly for women in a country like India.
You may not find this article interesting if you do not have plans to marry at all. This post is relevant to women like me, who try to balance work and marriage day in and day out. For some people, who dedicate themselves to their careers, like entrepreneurs, scientists, and people working in emergency services, work and life are not separate; their work is their life. But for most people, work and marriage are two separate things, with their own separate demands.
Sometimes, even small changes can improve your work life balance, and ultimately, your quality of life. Start making these changes today.
Are you making the best of your life? Personal as well as professional? Or, are you not sure if you are? How about taking this simple test to find out?
