Work-Life Balance

To balance work and life, especially when I work out of my home. And so everything is all right here. What advice do you have for people to really make that balance between work and personal life?

I definitely struggled with that. Like you, I think I've had that figured out now,
but that was definitely one of my, weaknesses, when I started, balancing work and life because I always felt like it had to be on. When you walk out the door of a corporate job at six o'clock and, you know, what do you do until you go to bed? But if I'm sitting at home and I also work at home, I just feel like I always, I felt I should rephrase that. I felt like I always needed to be on.
I always needed to be answering emails. I put some practice into my daily schedule. What I started to do is I started to schedule, as I built out my calendar, I started to schedule time for myself first. Time for my business second. Then anything else after that.

So I was making sure that I was getting my doctor's appointments, and that I was getting my workout time in. I make sure that I get my sleep time in. And originally, when I started doing this, I put everything in there. Like, go to sleep. Wake up. That rigidity was what I needed for myself personally, so I could live the way I live and function the way I function now. Where it's not as rigid, but I do define that time for me first and then my business.
