For most people, juggling the demands of a career and a personal life is an ongoing challenge, especially at a time when many companies have slashed their ranks —and expect more from the survivors.

Achieving the elusive "work-life balance" can often feel like an impossible goal, especially for people who strive to give everything 100%.

In today's "do more with less" competitive reality, how can we manage careers and families, and feel satisfied with both?

Attitude is everything

idea posted by Kriti Das HR Manager, ANZ Information Technology

No matter how much you love your job, no matter how big a part of your life it is, ultimately you need to be able to “turn it off” and spend some time not working. This is hard for a lot of people, because their work is an important part of who they are as people. This can be admirable, especially when you accomplish great things in your work, but an always-on-the-job attitude can be harmful in the long run.

At the least, the people around you will get tired of coming in second to your work, causing damage to your relationships and eventually leaving you without them.

Absolutely! I totally agree with you Kriti. I think it is actually hard to switch ON and OFF between work and "life", and also that work is an integral part of life. That is why it becomes important to do what one really likes. The issue of balancing is really about devoting time and priorities such that neither takes a back seat, visibly and consistently.

Hi All, Yes i do agree Attitude is everything if something goes wrong at home ,At that time even family memebers should help us to come out of it. Especaially Husband & Wife should understand each other's professional life. If some thing goes wrong other partner should be able to console and cheer Up the person. Otherwise it is very difficult in this Competative world....

Add your argument:

Learn to say 'NO'

idea posted by Nikhil Jain Senior Consultant, Hewitt Associates

If you’re having trouble keeping on top of everything going on in your life, it may be that you’ve committed more time than you have. If you’re like me (and just about everyone else), you don’t like to refuse favors, new responsibilities, or even casual requests, for fear of


a) looking undependable,

b) upsetting someone, or

c) missing out on something.

Make a point of seriously considering any request that comes your way, and double-check your schedule before taking anything else on. When it’s too much, don’t be afraid to refuse — you won’t be doing anyone any good by taking on tasks that you won’t be able to do well because you’re too overwhelmed to handle them, or by accepting social invitations that you’re too stressed out to enjoy.

Giving priorities to your work is very important,,whether its an office work or a personal one. A real professional is one who could well balance both. So to make it possible saying "NO" is a must.

Add your argument:

TRY TO BE IN PRESENT WITH TIME.

idea posted by rakeshbhatnagar GM Projects., wig brothers india pvt.ltd.

IF YOU ARE ON JOB BE DEVOTED 101 PERCENT.BUT AS SOON AS YOU LEAVE FOR HOME LEAVE AS RELIVED. LEAVE ALL YOUR PROFESSIONAL TENSIONS AT OFFICE AND TRY TO BE AT HOME IN HOMELY MOOD.

THIS MAY KEEP YOU FRESH AND NEXT DAY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO WORK MORE EFFICIENTLY .SO TRY TO BE IN PRESENT WHEREVER YOU ARE.IN BROADWAY WE CAN REMEMBER A PHRASE "WORK WHILE YOU WORK AND PLAY WILE YOU PLAY" . iTHINK IT IS SUFFICIENT TO END.

idea posted by Sanjeev Sharma director, Snell's Therapeutics Ltd Indore

I think that we are missing one most important and practical aspect of maintaining balance between the two things and that is health.What happens is that after completing our work we are hardly left with any energy to do justice with our family.Our fatigue overpowers us and we fail to entertain our kids and our partner.If we devote priority and time to our fitness levels we can be more successful in maintaining the balance.

8 hour Flexible Work Schedule

idea posted by Siva Subramaniam MBA/PGDM student, Jerusalem College of Engineering
Implementing flexible 8 hour scedules will cause a slight drag in the performance in the primary stages. But, this will improve the worklife balance in the long term, once the employees become responsive to the idea.

idea posted by Sanjeev Sharma director, Snell's Therapeutics Ltd Indore

I would like to differ here slightly because in my opinion attitude is very important but you need something else to synchronize between professional and personal life and that is EFFICIENCY.It has been observed that less efficient people are the one who fail to maintain balance between the two.If you are efficient you will complete your work in the stipulated time and earn more time for your personal life.I would once again come back to HEALTH.If your energy levels are good you will be more efficient compared to a person with low energy levels.Once you sleep well have a happy personal life your efficiency is bound to increase at work place and hence an all round betterment.

Make work life enjoyable

idea posted by P Srinivasan Payroll/Compensation Manager, INDIAN Railway

We human beings work only to earn a living and to keep our family happy. But when you overdo the job and neglect your family, you will get alienated from the family. Always keep in mind that somebody can easily replace u in your job, but definitely not so in your family. Hence always keep your personal life cheerful so that work life also becomes enjoyable.

Be assertive

idea posted by Gilbert PRIEUR Morphopsychologist Expert, Nemopsy

Being assertive allowss you to say yes or know wthout feeling coupable or obliged to do things you don't want to.

On the oher hand you can say things without hurting others because you are not involved in what you do or say more than it is necessary.

Morphopsycholgy has helped me being assertive as I know myself better than I did and am not afraid of what others think or say about me (i know everyto=hing before it is said).

Balance by listening and communication

idea posted by Joydeep Dasgupta Business Development Manager, New Horizon

The game of attitude is developed by listening, communicating to do the proper act(action). This majorly stems from education social, family background, aspiration, support an individual gets. Over and above every individual is unique. The way this is blended within an organization, family, society the balance and productivity is achieved. So this is not a one man show. If few things are not in place or happening we need to speak it out in an appropriate forum.

Attitude and Time

idea posted by shrikant MBA/PGDM student, National Institute of Tourism and Hospitality
Yes my statement may sound contradictory.Attitude is necessary while working...as well as the time spent in displaying one's attitude is also vital. Every one comes across these terms of worklife and personal life...It purely and solely depends on the individual as to how one balance's both of these...since its like two sides of the same coin..and a mixture of these leads to chaos...Therefore Attitude at workplace and personal life needs to be very well balanced,bearing in mind the prime factor of TIME.
