8 tips to Create the perfect Work vs. Life Balance!

 








1. Drawing firm boundaries to messages, media, calls which are low priority and those which can wait and instead focus on spending my energy with high-priority people and activities. Don't work on weekends. You need time for yourself and your family. Don't let your company take away that very 2 days as well.


Note: Your family comes under high priority people!


2. Tracking social media usage.


There are tons of great apps out there. If you want a list of apps I have used or still using. You can message me personally. I will send you the links!


3. Find out which is the most productive time of the day for you. For most people it is between 9 to 1. Try to finish your HIGH FOCUS work around this time.


4. Post lunch keep the work which you love doing ( Work which needs no motivation!)


5. If you need a nap. Take a POWER naps. These last for 20 min!


6.  Turn off all phone and work notifications because without you even realizing it .... it actually sends a wave of stress to your brain!


7. Play with your children at least 1 hour everyday. This time should be fully dedicated to them. No gadgets. No calls. No meetings. Just you and the kids! Maintain eye contact with them. Talk to them. Tell them jokes! Ask them if they are okay! Play hide and seek. Make houses with blankets. Pretend play with them! These will be memories that etch into their heart forever! Plus you will not have that MOM-Guilt/ DAD- Guilt of not spending enough time with your kids!


8. Turn off your laptops, Phones, TV, Kindle, Tablet close to bedtime. Ideally an hour before sleep. The melatonin ( Sleep Hormone) increases during night and if we use these devices then the blue wavelength light coming from them decreases the production of melatonin which ultimately is the reason why we stay awake and don't get enough sleep. If you want to know more about melatonin then head over to my YouTube video where I talk about the power of melatonin in our body in a 2 min short video!  Click here --> This is why you CAN'T Sleep!


Remember to "Live a life that is well balanced". Anything in excess is poison!


Good Luck finding your balance!

Lost in Two Dimensions

  We gaze at screens, day and night, A world so flat, yet shining bright. Pixels dance, but can’t replace, The warmth of touch, a loved one’s face. No scent of earth, no ocean's breeze, No velvet grass beneath our knees. No taste of rain, no fire’s glow, Just silent echoes, a hollow show. Are we alive, or just a view? A life so crisp, yet missing hue. Step outside, let senses soar, Feel, breathe, taste—be whole once more. # unLearn

To my Dearest Grandmother....

                Cultivating habits like writing a dairy is not a cake walk anymore. Atleast not in this generation where we are all drowning in the ocean of technology. Infact Ayamachi once asked me “ Mole! Ee Phone il entha ullathu? Ellavarum ithu epozhum enthina pidichu kondu nadakunnathu? . Those words hit deep and I realised we are giving more importance to this nonliving man made thing than anything else. Are we carrying the Bible the same way everywhere we go?                     While we jot down our “To Do Lists” Ayammachi has it memorised. There used to be a time when landphones existed  in every house and when she memorised the telephone numbers of her near and dear ones. How many phone numbers can we tell by heart?                   She also has a “Kanaku Pusthakam” where she writes her daily expenses and calculations. She also ...
