Here's how you can balance self-care with the demands of your training professional job.

When we're working, we're often told, directly or indirectly, that everything is urgent. However , if everyone is urgent, then often nothing is. It gets very important to prioritise. One of the ways to do so is the Eisenhower Matrix, where you understand which task is urgent and/or important. The tasks that are both urgent and important have to be done right away. Here, understand how urgent or important your self care is for you. Since self care is atleast important, if not urgent, it has to be scheduled in somewhere. This formula will help you prioritise your tasks while still considering your self-care.

Urgent vs. Important: Differentiate between urgent and important tasks to focus on what truly matters. Task Lists: Create daily or weekly task lists to organize and prioritize your workload.

I agree, prioritizing tasks helps to give clarity on what needs immediate attention and what can be relegated to the backseat.

Dedicated Time: Schedule regular self-care activities, such as exercise, hobbies, and relaxation, just like you would any important meeting. Consistent Routine: Establish a consistent self-care routine to ensure it becomes a regular part of your schedule.

Self-care is important off the clock, but on the clock as well. Taking small breaks throughout the day to re-energize is a great way to ensure self-care. It can be as simple as taking a few minutes to walk outside, stretch, grab a snack, or meditate.

You must believe in yourself and your capabilities. And to have this belief, you have to devote time to your own self. You need to nourish your soul and feed it with positive energy. That's the only way to success.

Work-Life Balance: Clearly define work hours and personal time to avoid burnout. Say No: Learn to say no to additional responsibilities that could overwhelm your schedule and compromise your self-care.

The most common weakness leaders have is not doing enough delegating. Take a moment and right down every task you have on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Now determine if any of those tasks, with minimal training, could be done by someone else. In the beginning, delegating, will take you more time but in the end it can save you hundreds of hours during the course of the year. To start hold weekly meetings with the individual to hold them accountable to the task and check the quality of the work. Remember, this accountability step takes only but a few moments as compared to doing the entire project. Delegation and accountability go hand in hand.

Leverage Team: Delegate tasks to team members where appropriate to lighten your workload and promote team collaboration. Empower Others: Train and empower colleagues to handle certain responsibilities independently.

Delegating is related to trust. Take some time to know the people you work with. Check in with them about their workload, what they enjoy and dislike about the work, what they wish they could do if they had the time and opportunity. Think about how might opportunities be created for them. Delegating will become a natural part of this process in ways that strengthen the team instead of creating strain.

Adaptability: Be flexible in adjusting your schedule and work methods to accommodate both professional and personal needs. Remote Options: Utilize remote work options or flexible hours if available to better manage your time.

Think of times that you have neglected your own self-care. How did you feel? Frame your mindset to make self-care a part of your regular routine. It is paramount to your long-term health and success.
