• Work-life balance is key factors for every
  entrepreneur to have a successful business
  career. But, if they continue to work late or
  indulged in night-shift from their home, their
  work-life balance is at stake, and with that
  their business AND personal success also.

• Busy workdays seem to be a marathon when you know
  the finish line is miles away. You step in the
  office finding a bulk of work waiting for you
  inbox filled with work, and a calendar occupied
  with meetings. This makes you too put in late
  hours at work- if not managed properly. Overtime
  at work makes you lose focus effectiveness at
  your regular working hours. Every day becomes the
  same as the one before

• Myriam Borg Create Australia Founder strongly
  believe in chunking your work to 4 hours a day
  and advocates avoid the traditional of 9-to-5,
  time clock altogether to achieve business
  success. Doing the really important work within
  business hours isnt just important, its also
  valuable for a successful outcome. Often business
  owners do busy work, rather than work that will
  directly affect their bottom line.

  Consultant to master your work-life balance as an
  entrepreneur

6
Create a Schedule

• Dont just put together a half-hearted to do
  list, go a step further and create a schedule for
  your workday. For example, if youre planning to
  work for eight hours, allocate an estimated time
  for each project or task.
• Being an entrepreneur, you might be occupied by
  emails and phone calls. Allocate 30 minutes a day
  to take care of all of your follow-ups instead of
  initiating with phone and inbox.

7
Time Management

• If youre working a 20 hour week be firm, work on
  a critical task, learn to allocate time for the
  set task, and delegate time wasting tasks to
  others. In case, you find yourself spending a
  majority of time managing your inbox or meetings,
  you perhaps need to restructure it and get a
  virtual assistant to take wasteful tasks from you.

8
Avoid Distractions

• Become militant about creating a distraction
  free workspace. Close out all unnecessary tabs on
  your browser, silence your phone, and put your
  headphones in if itll help you in your work.
  Social media other distractions are off limit
  during work hours. Be accountable to YOURSELF!

9
Take Breaks

• At times, when you are aiming to finish important
  tasks, you may prefer to work continuously until
  the work gets completed BUT that turn affects
  your work productivity. To work more efficiently
  and effectively consider taking breaks.
• As soon as you completed the task, get up to
  stretch, grab something to drink, and just
  refresh your brain before moving onto the next
  thing.

10
Learn the Power of Saying No

• For perfect work-life balance, it is important to
  avoid things or say no when youre busy. If you
  have a busy day schedule, avoid accepting a
  conference call invitation. Sometimes, it isnt
  possible to turn down every meeting invitation,
  therefore try to reschedule it.

11
Perspective

• Avoid exaggerating small stuff and end up turning
  your to-do list into far more than it really is.
  Simply manage your work according to the
  deadlines. If you find yourself anxious about
  your schedule for the next day or week ahead of
  you create a schedule to have a better
  perspective of the timeframe in order to
  successfully complete your work on time.

12
Add a Reminder

• Being an entrepreneur, you might stay occupied
  all the day, but its important to include a
  regular workout in your day schedule to stay
  healthy. Add a calendar invite reminding for
  gym, run or other practices you prefer. If not,
  youll most likely regret it when you get
  negative outcomes.

13
Avoid Reworking Things

• Stop spending your evenings in the office
  reworking things until theyre perfect. Establish
  a clear definition of the end result when
  youve reached it, check out for the day.
  Remember, there is no such thing as perfect.

14
Put Yourself First

• If youre an entrepreneur, business relies
  heavily on YOU- your sleep, mood, and sanity must
  come first says, Create Australias Founder
  Myriam Borg. Ensure that you are putting
  yourself first by eating right, sleeping well and
  exercising. These things are critical for proper
  thinking, creating and performing at your
  workplace.
