WORK/LIFE BALANCE
WORK/LIFE BALANCE
(OP)
I was wondering how many of you meticulously schedule your time in work and out of work.
For instance, I do the very simple to do list. But outside of work with many hobbies and interests and things I want to do and learn I don't.
I sometimes get stressed about goal setting. I need to rethink it. There is so much I'm excited about learning and doing but if I dont' stay focused on it, it is hard to get it done.
Any suggestions from those that like to schedule all their time would be appreciated!

at home: rather messy, only 101 things that need to be done and not forgotton, plus 10001 things that need to be done because they're so much fun.
I tend to get stressed only when I'm tired. A good night of sleep usually does it.

(That sounds like a song often heard on the southern US airwaves.)
In order to accomplish anything significant outside of work, like learning a language, a musical instrument, earning a PE, or changing jobs, you almost have no choice but to get organized and stick to a plan.
Unfortunately, I don't always employ such plans for big responsibilities like marriage, family & personal finance.

Give some to the job, some to the family, some to yourself, or just give it all to the job.

We work 5 1/2 days a week.
Saturday afternoon to Sunday night - absolutely no planning. Take life as it comes. That way I unwind everything and get charged up again for the week ahead. The big problem is since we spend most of our time at work, we tend to use a similar approach at home also. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't plan at home.
I have found this to be very successful in stress reduction.

I still schedule and task at work, but not as much as I used too. I think it is because I am more experienced at my position and am aware at how long things will take me to accomplish.

The list is called a "honey-do" list. My list keeps getting longer and longer .....
