The Holiday Guide to Balancing Your Work and Family Life
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

It is officially less than 2 days to Christmas but the holiday frenzy doesn’t have to leave you burnt out. If you work the traditional way i.e., in an office, then you are probably at home reading this and prepping for the Christmas Day celebrations. If you work remotely, however, organizing and planning ahead of time can be very useful in terms of reducing stress, anxiety and isolation this season.

There are some ways to help you find a suitable balance between work and your personal life this period both as a 9-5er and as a remote worker.

Set Firm Boundaries:

Set firm boundaries

This is one of the first steps to achieving the sought-after work-life balance. Define your work hours and stick to them fervently. Additionally, create a dedicated workspace to signal the beginning and end of your work hours each day, allowing you to mentally shift from your professional responsibilities at work to your time in your free hours.

Planning is Key:

Planning is key

Be realistic about the goals you can accomplish and the deadlines you can meet. If possible, create a schedule that incorporates your work, family traditions and the festivities. By aligning your holiday plans with the natural downtimes in your professional calendar, you can enjoy the festivities without the anxiety of a looming deadline.

Prioritize and Delegate:

Prioritize and delegate

Classify tasks based on their urgency and importance. Where you can, assign projects to team members that can do it, that way work is shared and it gets completed faster while also empowering them. This approach ensures that you avoid last-minute rushes and allows for a smoother transition into the holiday mode.

Maximize The Technology at Your Disposal:

Maximize the technology at your disposal

Make use of productivity tools to streamline your work and boost efficiency. Once you clock out for the holidays, establish concise rules for digital communication. Consider setting up response times and using automated responses for when you’re away to better manage expectations without sacrificing your time off from work.

Make Family Time a Priority:

Make family time a priority

Always remember that family time is precious. Create particular times to be fully present with your loved ones. Think of fun activities to try out with them, it could be something as simple as enjoying a holiday movie or participating in holiday traditions.

Invest in Self-Care:

Invest in self-care

Designate a time for you to simply relax and rejuvenate your mind and body. It could be a simple, mind-pleasing activity like reading a book or engaging in a favorite hobby. By dedicating time to self-care, you enhance your overall health, making it much easier to return to work with a renewed mind and focus.

Communicate Efficiently:

Communicate efficiently

Effective communication is key. Recognize your limits and learn to say no when necessary. Politely but firmly decline additional work requests that could essentially jeopardize your well-deserved time off.

Avoid Potential Stressors:

Avoid potential stressors

Find support in your loved ones and friends at work and ask them for help with the tasks you don’t enjoy doing. Things like Christmas shopping or cooking the holiday meal can increase your stress levels if you try to juggle everything at once. This also serves as an opportunity for a bonding experience with your loved ones.
