1. Make a list of all the areas that need your attention, from work and family to finances and fun. Rate each on a scale of 1 to 10 and then decide if you're satisfied with that rating or if you want to improve it. For example, your physical home may be at a 4 but you'd like to do some projects to get it to a 7. Again, perfection is not the objective.
2. Prioritize.
3. Determine your needs, identify resources and ask for help.
4. Set boundaries and manage expectations--yours as well as others.
5. Write down your goals. Without goals, there is no strong incentive to improve your balance. Fill in the blank: "If I had more time, energy and other resources, I would __________________________." Now you have something to work for!

What are your strategies for more balance in your life? Do you limit technology at home or block out sections of your workday to capitalize on times when you are most productive? Share your wisdom on my Facebook Page or reply back to me. I love hearing from you!
