@alishahlakhani Agreed with you, Ali! Sleep well, eat well, keep your mind strong and healthy are indeed important!

I totally understand. Sometimes the work-life balance is particularly difficult because we are approaching a difficult phase in the product's life. For example, we have a launch tomorrow and for the last two weeks I have to be in touch with colleagues 24/7. But once the launch is over, everything will be fine and I will go on vacation :D I think work-life balance is important, but when you create your own product, you have to prioritise.

@renat_abyasov Truly! First thing first, just followed your product!! Thanks for your suggestions, same here man! XD

Just try to get out into nature, even for as little as 30 mins per day, and especially at the weekend, if you can through Sunday without using your phone (leave it at home) it can help.

@graham_wood79 Thanks for the suggestions; taking rest is indeed necessary, and I also begin to meditate 10min everyday, it's pretty good though~

I use a calendar and I time block. Time blocking is what works best for me!

why are these 2 separate?... there's "life" and "work" and... nothing else?..

I don't need to seek a balance... I go with the flow with what I want in a given moment. When I feel worky, I work.. When I don't feel worky I don't work.

@cyriljeet Life is work, work is life! Followed you, Cyril! God Speed!!

I often travel with my family for few days every week or two to different destinations to relax from work.

dotBRAND

@vladimir_zivkovic Wow, that's nice~ What bothers me is that even when I go out with my family, I still feel extremely distracted and stressed out. Have you ever experience this kind of problem?

Vlad Zivkovic @vladimir_zivkovic

@dot_brand One thing we try to do is always going to a new destinations with plenty of unknown things to discover, and that will keep the mind distracted. But of course there will always be some work ideas going in our minds.

Set time windows where you’re not working. For example, after 7pm, No more work or anything close to it. I allow myself time to do anything I want outside of that (art, games, etc). It’s critical you have downtime because your brain needs to rest and you perform so much better the next day.

@edward_g Agreed. In fact, I found out that the most productive days are the days right after my day off!

Not sure if balance is the right word. There will always be unbalance with work and life. One of my mentors talks about integration instead of balance. How can we integrate our work and life together. For example, if you're training for a marathon, it is OK to expect you to spend less time with the family during the week b/c you need to train for a few months. Once the race is over, then that time switches back.

@drewsalesplaybookbuilder Wow~ that's very inspiring: integrating work and life! Thanks for sharing, Drew!

No need for outside life when work is life :)

I establish specific boundaries between work and personal life. Define when the workday starts and ends, and stick to those hours as much as possible. I also avoid bringing work-related tasks into my personal time.

dotBRAND

@sakshi_gahlawat May I ask, what do you think about the mindset of "work is life, life is work"? while some people tend to separate the work from life~

On the contrary, do you think it's a wise thought to sacrifice work-life balance in the beginning of your career in order to have a speedy growth initially?

dotBRAND

@gagandt It depends on everyone's own condition. I can imagine if someone is young and doesn't need to take care of families, he/she can definitely do so; while another middle-ager who has families to take care of, it would be hard for him/her to do so. It's more like finding your own living/working rhythm though~
