• Tips for entrepreneurs/business owners: Being your own boss is the ultimate form of freedom; however, it often requires harder work and more time to ensure things are running smoothly. If you are running a business from home, try to use the GTD technique to help you get things done in order of impor- tance and delegate tasks like customer service or shipping to others whenever possible. Use time management tools to focus on building your business while allotting some of your precious time to spend with your family or use these tips to boost remote working produc- tivity. CREATE TIME FOR YOURSELF The key to a good work-life balance is to make time for relaxation and self-care so you can gain some mental and physical health benefits. • Build downtime into your schedule: Always set aside time for yourself and your family and stick to it. Don’t change this time, and make sure you set boundaries to ensure you have plenty of off-time to enjoy. • Tips for a self-care routine: Practice healthy habits like eating a balanced diet, getting rest, and sleeping regularly. Feel free to relax with a hot bubble bath or do some yoga or medi- tation to help encourage healthy mindfulness. • Define what you need: Determine what’s most important to you, and make sure you include it in your schedule, whether it’s playing sports, going to concerts, or enjoying mini-va- cations. Having time to do what you enjoy is crucial to a happy social life and successful career. • Exercise: Participate in some form of physical activity as often as possible to help you stay healthy. Carve out some time for exercise and find a workout plan that you enjoy. Try walking around the neighborhood, enrolling in a workout program, or joining your local gym.
