Striking a Balance

Have you ever felt like you can't cope or you feel you would lag in one place or the other ??

Striking a balance isn't that easy and we all know that. We know having to merge family, life school and altogether isn't that easy.

There are many physical, mental, emotional, and academic benefits to striking a balance and effectively managing your time with school, life, family, social media, and tech.

Whether you are personally working on improving your self-esteem, your sleep habits, or your productivity, you can gain a lot from prioritization and time management.

To help reach short- and long-term goals, I suggest you try this out:

PRIORITIZE- Learning how to effectively organize your priorities is crucial to help you understand the activities that should take more of your time and those that are mere wants.

The ones that are less important can take the back seat for the moment pending the time you tick off the more important ones.

I have this method of prioritizing my task by setting them on measures, some are URGENT/HIGH-PRIORITY, MID-PRIORITY, and LOW-PRIORITY.

URGENT tasks are very important things like a client's website being defaced or a course I need to attend to understand. personally, in school, I don't attend all classes except those of high priority.

Setting priorities give you an edge in managing your time effectively and giving the best out of what you do by doing it better.

STAY EFFICIENT - Time management will help you stay on track while accomplishing more rapid progress in your outlined priorities.

Make a schedule containing each priority, including your task at work, school, and family, and ensure you stick to it.

COMPERTMENTALIZE- While you’re fixing a schedule for your activities, don’t forget to compartmentalize.

Divide your tasks into smaller ones to help you know where to start and finish, and equally ease the tension with getting it done.

I do this most of the time to make us look like I have done a lot sometimes and I give myself kudos for achieving my set priorities.

REMEMBER YOUR GOAL - Keeping your goal at the back of your mind at all times will help in driving the motivation to push through difficult times and cross the finish line.

Just so you know:

While you’re trying to get everything done, ensure you take the time out to decompress and relax. It’ll save you from experiencing quick burnout.

That's how you code and strike a balance 💯

Have a nice time Adios
