Welcome to the CG Chatter Podcast episode #10! In this episode I offer eight tips on how to achieve better work/life balance. These are all things that I personally try and follow, and that I feel can make a big difference in balancing your work time with your time spent doing all the other important things in life. I feel that actively striving for a good balance is critical to avoiding burnout, staying happy/healthy, and keeping those creative batteries charged!
The eight tips I discuss are:
- No electronics before sleep. Read a book, relax, get away from your screen.
- Don’t check email when you wake up. Email can wait! Start by taking some time for yourself.
- Try a computer-free day each week. Not always easy to do, but this goes a long way toward giving your eyes a break and getting some recharge time.
- Make good time estimates. Learn how long it takes you to do projects so you can better estimate your time when working with clients and deadlines.
- Learn to say “no.” Clients and employers would much rather you say “no” and over-deliver than bite off more than you can chew. Saying “yes” to too many things is bad for everyone.
- Work efficiently. Work smart and keep growing your skillset so you can be as efficient as possible while “on the clock”.
- Do non-computer things. Get outside! Go to shows! Play board games!
- Take good care of yourself. Eat well, exercise, get plenty of sleep, and take breaks while working.
