How to Improve Your Work-Life Balance

 

I know many people, myself included, who could improve their work-life balance. As a coder, it’s easy to super-focus on a task well past work hours. My advice is to create a task-list for the day, estimate how long each task will take, and only take on what will reasonably fit in your work day. What if you have a task or two left at the end of the day? Is it on a deadline? If not, save it for tomorrow. No matter how many hours of the day you throw at your job, there will still be more things to do tomorrow. Work is important, but it’s not worth putting your life on hold.

How do you get the most out of both your career and your personal life? We asked the community to share their tips and advice on achieving a healthy work-life balance, and this is what they had to say.
