Achieving work-life balance may seem unattainable, but you can take steps to establish better boundaries and prevent burnout before it sets in.
In brief
To improve your work-life balance, consider what times of day you work best, and factor in your personal needs.
Try scheduling your time in advance and having a conversation with your supervisor to ensure you are both on the same page.
Recognize the symptoms of burnout, and set boundaries for yourself around work. Try blocking out your time and communicating with your supervisor about expectations for when you should be working.
If you are struggling to find balance, have a conversation with your loved ones and take a closer look at the division of labor in your household.
