Ways to create harmony ;Visioning Integrating Recharging Planning Organizing Saving Asking
1-Visioning--Create a list of your top 10 goals that you would like to accomplish in the next 12 months for work. From that top 10 list, choose the top five that you would like to accomplish in the next six months. From your top five goals, choose the top three goals you want to achieve in the next three months and then prioritize these three items. Do the same for your home/ personal life. By creating these lists you are helping your brain prepare itself to make it happen.
2-Integrating--Integrate work and home whenever possible. When you keep them separate you end up trying to balance even more tasks. Think about what values you are expressing through your work and home life.
3-Recharging yourself--Take care of yourself by doing something that recharges your batteries (i.e., running, walking, reading, meditating, whatever). Make a list of your favorite things to do and make a plan to do one a week. Remember the airline advice about safety masks--in the event of an emergency put your safety mask on first then help others. You cannot take care of others if you are not taking care of you.
4-Planning family time in advance--If you have children, schedule a special time with each child once a week--something your child enjoys (e.g., favorite restaurant). Spend special time with your partner without the children--choose a special event--date night.
5-Organizing your time--Decide ahead of time (day before) what you will do (create to do list) and stick to it. Capture your thoughts in a small notebook (PDA or blackberry) that you can carry with you and write down ideas, things to do or notes.
6-Saving time --Use PDA, cell phones and blackberries when waiting for the train, bus, or plane. Get rid of a phone tag by asking your caller to leave a detailed message on your voice mail so you can be prepared with an answer when you call back. Use email for short messages only. If you are writing more than 2 paragraphs picking up the phone or going down the hall will be understood much faster and clearer and shows that you care. Try to consolidate activities whenever possible. For example, ask friends or family to join you in some of your hobbies or tasks (i.e., take a computer program class together).
7-Asking your current or potential employer about job flexibility opportunities (like telecommuting or working fewer hours) will help. Women tend not to ask for things--like raises, promotions, flex-time, helping with chores. Many women assume that others should notice their hard work and reward it without having to be told. Men do ask, request and/or demand more money, a raise, flex-time, etc. Ask and you might be surprised.
