5 Tips To Help You Maintain A Healthy Work-Life Balance

Add caption

Maintaining a healthy and stable work-life balance requires being able to separate your private and professional life without allowing one to interfere with the other. Both are essential, and neither should be disregarded. Maintaining that equilibrium between work and life is essential to managing stress, preventing burnout in the workplace and living a satisfying life.

In today’s world, pulling yourself away from work is more difficult than ever — thanks, to a large extent, to mobile technology. So, how can we balance today’s job and life? In this article, we will be sharing 5 invaluable tips and tricks to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance for your physical and mental well-being.

Get Adequate Sleep

The number of hours needed for a “complete night’s rest” differs significantly from person to person, but ultimately, you need at least seven. Listen to your body and get rest when you’re running down. Attempt to switch off all gadgets at least 30 minutes before you go to sleep, including TV, social media, and internet especially when you know you have a full day of work the next day.

Prioritize Your Time

Setting priorities at home and at the office is part of keeping a good work-life balance. There are only 24 hours in a day, so it becomes crucial that you prioritize your work and time into categories as it helps you figure out what will get your time, attention and energy. At work, you can note the tasks under: “Important and urgent”, “Important but not urgent”, Urgent but not important”, “Neither urgent nor important.” It is really no one else’s job but your own to put yourself first.

Monitor Your Health

Your health should always be your number one priority. When people work full-time, especially in an office setting, it becomes hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you are not up-to-date mentally and physically, it will affect all regions of your life, take good care of yourself by eating healthy, sleeping well, and exercising regularly.

Have A Social Life

You should not only reserve the nice fun stuff for the weekends to strike a healthy work-life equilibrium but also plan at least one fun activity during the week. This way you’ll go to your workplace with something nice to look forward to and get an incentive to handle your time well.

Maintain A “Me Time”

Don’t shy away from taking some personal time off. Giving your job time is very essential, but it is equally essential that you plan “me time.” Every week, you should take an hour to indulge in something you enjoy, like rewarding yourself when you accomplish your goals — it could be a vacation or visiting the beach.

The necessity of maintaining a healthy work-life balance cannot be overemphasized, it helps to become a more rounded individual, keeps you mentally in check and ensures your physical health and wellbeing.

HOW TO ANSWER TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF with example.

"Tell me about you" is a must in the job interview. So recruiters are particularly attentive to the way you respond. Here are 4 examples of speeches to help prepare yours.

1. A presentation around 3 qualities«Choose three adjectives that characterize you (international, curious, autonomous, etc.) and decline them during the pitch consisting of 3 steps: what you are, what you do and your added value for the company, " recommends Sophie Muffang, executive coach.Example : "What characterizes me is creativity. I put this skill at the service of marketing for 10 years in several companies ... My investment has for example allowed me to reposition the products on a more premium segment. The key is an additional 3% market share. My creativity, coupled with great autonomy, will allow me tomorrow to excel as head of digital marketing. I have also begun to decrypt this market, I think we could .... What do you think? Do you want me to develop this part or another specific point? "
2. Sell through previous achievementsFor Ana Fernandez, leader of the firm Energy Coaching, we must bet on the concrete, the concrete, and the concrete. The pitch presentation is the identity card of the candidate . It therefore takes over its business, industry, skills, years of experience ... all supported by examples and some subtleties. "Mention that you worked 5 years in London under the understanding that you speak perfect English. So, it's useless to explain it, "she illustrates.Example : "My job has been responsible for project-oriented HR development for 10 years. My professional career began in 1994 as a social law lawyer for an employers' organization of vocational training. Then, for 7 years, I held the position of Head of HR Development at a firm as Associate Director. My achievements have, for example, to:- develop the consulting and training activity by achieving a turnover increase of 20% / year- create an HR hotline to provide assistance to managers in the operational management of their employees- lead complex training projects for exampleDuring 2009, I took advantage of a plan of departure to change my career by completing my training as a master 2 Manager in HR management and development, during which I worked at XXX as a project manager HR development. Since September, I have devoted my time to publishing my book Women: Dare to Succeed! The self-coaching guide to succeed in your job ».
3. Use storytelling to structure your speech"A pitch starts with a good punchline to set the scene," says Stéphane Saba, East Balt's Vice President for Europe, Middle East and Africa, and coordinator of the Lemon expert network. Then, you chained by turning your CV into history . To captivate your interlocutor, the pitch must have sense of course but also be fluid . Say a lot about you without revealing everything. Suggest links rather than saying everything. If you talk about personal experience, it must have a resonance in the professional world. A marathoner is, for example, known to be enduring of course but also mentally resistant, "he advises.Example : for a management controller: "improving the finances of organizations is second nature to the point that I also use it in the private sphere being treasurer of the sports association of my city". For a professional R & D or marketing innovation: "curiosity and innovation are two character traits that define me". Generic conclusion: "It is these skills and experiences, both personal and professional, that I propose to put at the service of your organization".
4. A pitch around the past, present and futureFor Pauline Lahary, founder and CEO of MyCVFactory: "the presentation should be structured in paragraph, like a cover letter. Talk first of the present about what you are doing now. Then from the past .
The idea is to prove by a previous position or an internship what you have been able to succeed. Obviously, the choice of example must echo the coveted position. Chase with the future . In other words, your added value for the target company. Be operational. And conclude by quoting a recommendation, "she explains.Example : "Soon graduated with a master's degree in marketing from EM Normandy, I really focused my career around the international. Thanks to this internship in this or that sector, I really enjoyed .... This experience allowed me to discover in depth the areas of ... that I found fascinating. Today, I would like to work for a company with an international dimension, like yours, in which I could blossom and build my professional project. To conclude quickly, my former boss would say that I take my missions very much to heart, that I make a work always impeccable and that I am always in a good mood ".It's your turn !

 UPDATE ON BUHARI SIP

Presidency explains current status of social investment programmes

As the Buhari administration proceeds with the implementation of its Social Investment Programmes, the Federal Government has now released over N375 million this year to feed almost 700,000 primary school pupils in 5 states, while virtually all states of the federation, except two, are now being processed for the payment of N30,000 monthly stipends to 200,000 graduates, the N-Power beneficiaries.
Giving a media update in Abuja on Sunday, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Office of the Vice President, Laolu Akande, said the Muhammadu Buhari Social Investment Programmes, SIP, are proceeding at different stages of implementation. According to him, regarding the Homegrown School Feeding Programme, the Federal Government last week released money for this year, to the states of Anambra, Ogun, Oyo, Osun and Ebonyi to cover the feeding for 10 school days.The sum of about N375,434,870 has just been released and paid to 7,909 cooks in those states for the feeding of a total of 677,476 primary school pupils.Mr. Akande gave the following breakdown:Ogun State got a total of N119,648,900 paid to 1.381 cooks to feed 170,927 pupils.Ebonyi State got N115,218,600 paid to 1.466 cooks to feed 164, 598 pupils.Anambra State got N67.5 million paid to 937 cooks to feed 96,489 pupils.

He disclosed that the processing of January stipends are also in advanced stages.He assured some beneficiaries who have issues to remain patient, while observing that quite a number of the beneficiaries have banking information irregularities. He said the payment of the unemployed graduates which has created a huge buzz across the country especially on the social media is being done in batches.Regarding the Conditional Cash Transfer, CCT, payments continue in the nine pilot states of Bauchi, Borno, Niger, Kogi, Cross Rivers, Osun, Oyo Ekiti, and Kwara States.
