How to Improve Your Work-Life Balance

1____Software development is challenging and stressful,

and it’s tough for developers to find a balance between their

work and life especially when tight deadlines are there.

4 Most of the developers have the same story. They need to

work on lots of complicated and challenging tasks. Most of

the time it happens that they get stuck in resolving some

7 major bug in their application. They stretch themselves and

spend hours in it without realizing that they are losing the

track of time, and neglecting the other important personal

10 stuff.

Being a developer you might have experienced the

time when a nightmare coding project creeps into the

13 evening or weekends, and you’re asked to complete the

project within the given deadline. Developers are struggling

with separating their careers from their personal lives. This

16 text is all about maintaining a healthy work-life balance

between your career and your personal life. Here are some

tips:

19 1. Prioritize Your Time;

2. Follow a Strict Routine;

3. Cut Out the Things Which is Not Important;

22 4. Be Aware of Burnout: Programmer burnout Is huge in the

industry. When you’re coding most of the time you use all

your brainpower. Coding 10-12 hours straight, not taking

25 breaks, not spending enough time with family members, or

not doing anything related to your hobbies, all these things

contribute to burnout;

28 5. Don’t be a Perfectionist;

6. Enjoy Your Work to Lead an Overall Balanced Life: You

don’t need to work hard on living a balanced work-life if

31 you’re truly enjoying your work. Most of the employees

are dissatisfied with their job and the most common

reason behind it is that they separate the work experience

34 from their actual lives.

It’s important to maintain the overall quality of

your life. Instead of living two different lives and finding a

37 balance, remove the distinction between work and life.

Once it is removed, and you consider everything as a part

of your life, you won’t have to find a balance, and you

40 won’t have to live two separate lives.
