"The art of balance: How to achieve balance between work, study, and personal life."

I feel that I am now at a point in my life where I have to balance two jobs, studies and other equally important commitments and it is really difficult. I often feel sleep-deprived, lack time for myself and lack of opportunity to spend time with loved ones. This period is filled with stress and negative emotions due to constant tension and lack of time for rest.

 

How do I cope with the period when I have to combine work, study and personal life?

 

I've found myself in the middle of a whirlwind lately. Virtually no time to myself. This causes stress and feelings of being lost, but I've found my way of coping with this challenge.

 

Point 1: Organisation of time

The concept of "efficiency" has become my best friend. I have made a clear schedule with precise times for work, study and even small rest breaks. It is important to have a clear idea of how to allocate time between all responsibilities.

 

Point 2: Prioritisation and streamlining of tasks

You need to be flexible and be able to switch between tasks quickly. It is important to realise that some tasks can be postponed if they are not so important that they do not upset the balance.

 

Point 3: Self-care

Although time for myself is extremely scarce, I try to find it. Even a short break to go for a walk outdoors, make a delicious snack, watch a film or read, can have a huge impact on stress levels and overall health.

 

Point 4: Support for others

Equally important was the support from loved ones and socialising with friends. I made time to meet with friends, even if it was for short meetings for a cup of coffee or lunch. This helped me to relieve stress and maintain my emotional balance.

 

My situation may seem difficult, but I'm confident that with the right approach and mindset, you can tackle any challenge. If you find yourself in a similar situation, don't be afraid to try new strategies and find your path to balance.
