Sometimes people asked me how do I make time for my social stuff when I’m swamped with deadlines. Want to know how to balance work and home? Well for one, I’m single and am not married. That’s a plus point … BUT I also have these few rules in my life to make it much simpler and more organised

Scheduling

I’m a pretty ‘freaky’ person. I hate chaos and I need order and cleanliness in my life constantly. So the perfect way to get such is to constantly schedule. Be it in my mind or my notepad, I’ll do things in priority. Which needed most attention and priority will get to be done first.

Know how much time you have and work and home and plan it to the best of your ability. Stick to it and you won’t lose any more sleeps. I think this is really important, to do a sort of mental or planned scheduling; married or otherwise.

Leave Work at Work

I believe most people tend to ignore this tip themselves even knowing fully aware about it. Yes I can be a workaholic but when its time to leave it, I let my work be.

People sacrifice plenty of things in their life for work and most of the time is not worth it, if the sacrifices are family and your health. There should be a separation between home and work activities. It’s all about how your view jobs and the important things in your life

Weekends are for Home Activities

Just do homely activities on the weekend. And if you do happen to work on the weekends, try to spare a day doing such home activities on the weekend. Knowing the certain days are home days and the other days are work day, makes the part of balancing home and work much easier

    Being single is a very big plus point in creating a balance lifestyle. But I hope that is not the reason why you are not making that commitment to settle down all these years. Not that I am rushing and all… but take it from me, the family life commitment will not only test your endurance in creating the balance lifestyle but also trained you to better utilise your time in work, family and play.

      No I’m not rushing into it

      Yes marriage life will be another phase of my life in the future. I won’t know what to expect of course. A new playing field
