Balancing work and life can be really tough especially since all you probably want to do is go to sleep after a long day.
If you’re working long hours every day of the week then it’s important to fill your weekend with enjoyable activities and spending time with family and friends. Making sure that you have time for your loved ones is essential to keeping happy and having something to take your mind off work. If you are worried about doing so much overtime at work without any reward, ask your boss if there is the possibility of being given days in lieu to take off when the busy period is over.
Getting enough exercise is also vital after sitting for hours on end at a desk. If you are too tired after a long day in the office, see if you are able to incorporate exercise into your lunch break. Go for a walk or see if it’s possible to do a quick work out at a nearby gym to break up the day. While you probably feel that it’s impossible to take lunch breaks during busy times, it has been known that exercise during the day can boost your energy and refresh your brain for the afternoon.
