5 Tips For Balancing Work and Life as a Creative

1) Set Priorities

What tasks are not important right now? What can wait until tomorrow, next week, or next month? If you don't have enough time to do everything, what will be okay to leave out? Is the task really something that NEEDS to get done tonight?

2) Communicate Boundaries

If you don't set boundaries, some people will take advantage of your kindness. So remember that it's completely okay to tell your boss or client, that you're happy to do the task, but it won't get done until tomorrow

3) Take Breaks During The Day

As creatives it's easy to get stuck in a flow, where you work for hours without breaks. Being in the flow is great, but you still need to take breaks throughout the day. Go for a walk, get away from your computer, or take a 5 min. meditation break

4) Get Enough Sleep

This can easily happen when you're in a work flow. You forget the time, and suddenly end up working waaay past your bedtime. If this happens a lot to you, then set an alarm to remind yourself to go to bed

5) Remind Your Team To Unplug

We also need to look out for each other and our team. If you know your team often works late or forgets to take breaks, then remind them to unplug
