We live such a hectic life where people are busy and rushing. There are too much work to do that lead to burnout. I came across an article about balancing life while reading CLEO magazine - in a stressful lifestyle today, we should look at the bright side of the situation. Having more things to do than we think we could do means we're alive and growing. There are three steps that we can look up to which are perspective, proportion and priorities. Without these steps we would have no driving goals to move forward progressively.
The first rule towards a balance life is by looking at a few perspectives in our life. We should ask ourselves how important the things really are. Make a list of what would we do if we were given only few months to live. Would we travel around the world or be with our loved ones? Our choice represents the things in life we value the most. Next, we have to put our life into proportion. We could try to list out problems in our life. For examples, if we are overweight; we have family problems; we are not happy with who we are. All we can do is just try to accept the situation for what it is. If we cannot live with it, write down some steps we can take to recover from it. The last step is by dividing our work according to priorities. This could be done by looking at our interests, skills and needs.
Also, there's a quote saying “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, all play and no work makes Jack a mere toy”. So try the best that you can to to stay focus during class hours. Give the required time to our family and friends. Do not forget to have enough rest and relaxation. When we are feeling balanced, our brains will work more efficiently.
