What do you do if your corporate finance job is taking a toll on your work-life balance?

Here are some steps to regain control over your work-life balance: 👉 Evaluate Your Commitments 👉 Reflect on Impact 👉 Prioritize What Matters 👉 Achieve Balance

Well, a good work life balance is like maintaining a balance between personal well being and professional responsibility. For this we need to analyse: 1. Time Dimensions: like managing the hours we dedicate to the work, family and personal loved things. 2.Emotional Dimension: to giving equal importance to feelings fulfilled and content both at work and personal life 3. Cognitive Dimension: means focusing on the task at hand, minimising distractions and nurturing mental clarity. 4. Physical Dimension: like maintaining physical health, proper nutrition, regular exercise.

Setting boundaries is crucial for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. It's about respecting your personal time and preserving your mental well-being.

Managing time well is super important in corporate finance. 🎯 Find ways to do tasks smarter, like grouping similar tasks together.

Concentre-se em identificar tarefas que possam ser automatizadas ou simplificadas através de tecnologia, estabeleça limites claros entre trabalho e descanso, e incorpore intervalos regulares para recarregar durante o dia. A adoção de práticas mindfulness pode também ajudar a gerenciar o estresse e aumentar a concentração. Essas mudanças podem levar a uma maior eficiência no trabalho e a mais tempo livre para a vida pessoal, equilibrando as demandas profissionais com o bem-estar.

Asking for support is key when work-life balance feels off. 🤝 Your company might have great options like flexible hours or remote work. 💯

The most important step, in my experience, is to actually stop and acknowledge that it's "not just the way it has to be". Too often we keep pushing through because we believe it's the only way if we are to be, or perceived to be, successful. Acknowledging that it's not the only way forward allows us to look for the alternatives. Sadly, so many don't give themselves the benefit of this time and space to explore so stay stuck in the pressure-cooker.

Taking care of yourself is super important, especially in stressful jobs like corporate finance. ✨ Doing things that relax you, like exercise or spending time with family, helps you stay healthy and do your best at work.💯

Lower your pursuit of perfection – it's often unnecessary to push accuracy from 90% to 95/100%. Not every situation demands such precision. Without reevaluating your standards, you risk sacrificing work-life balance by relentlessly aiming for flawless data.
