Work Boundaries Protect Family and Relationship

Looking forward to going home after each workday is wonderful to have. Perfect family life, good children who respect you. Peace in the relationship and a tasty dinner.

It’s not always a sunny day. There are times when you want to stay away from the same person or people to figure out why they behave in a way that shatters you & you go out to gather yourself in peace.

When share your work problems at home you think that your family members are your sounding board. You create the illusion for yourself. They are there for you but not as a sounding board to listen to your daily work problems. You are their role model, not a problem model. Consequences of “sharing work problems at home” come back not on the same day but later when you least accepted. Lowering your value by yourself has a devastating effect on family life and on important relationships.

Set boundaries not to share your personal work problems with your family and with the important person in your life. Share Your Problems with your coach, trainer or good colleague / in groups.

This simple habit of keeping your work problem in the work context saves your family life and important relationships.

Are there any exceptions to this? Of course, there is.

Let me know in the comments if you have already set those boundaries to protect your family life and relationships

Regular Breaks Increase Productivity By an Extra Twenty-Five Percent

I was sitting in my office and working on my present goal. I worked hard to meet my deadline and wanted to complete the task without straining myself physically and mentally. I was so indulged in my work that I forgot to take care of myself and ignore my body pain, my fingers and arms were hurting. My arms were swollen, my eyes were dried up, my brain could not think more and I heard a voice from within shout at me “Stop”. So, I did and ended up in rest for a week. While resting, I begin to trace back my successful days at work. I used to work in the chunk of 45 minutes at a time and then break for 10 minutes. Regular breaks help me to restore my energy and give relief to my eyes, and rest to my arms. Most importantly my brain got relief from constant focus. By repeating it I was able to complete my task easily on time and with more precision. I realized; that it is good to learn from our past success. By repeating our successful habits, we can create more success. I wonder wha...

Priorities In Sequence Make it Easier

John thinks of achieving his goal. He is clear about what he wants and knows what steps he needs to take to complete the goal. Life is hard on him. He has so many tasks at hand that need his attention. Regardless of how badly he wishes to complete his goal. Those tasks pull him into the whirlpool of their circumstances. The more he engages in those tasks the more un-satisfaction he experience. He decided to schedule an appointment with his coach. In the session, they devise the strategy John agrees to implement. “John made a list of each task. Organise each task according to their priority. Now his sequence of tasks is ready to implement”. He immediately launched his first priority and got it done within 3 hrs. He is satisfied with his work. He looks forward to the next one. Let me know in the comments how you deal with the load :)

Present Takes Care of Future

John thinks of completing his task on time. Get all the important tasks done before the deadline. He loves to enjoy the wins. But something was holding him back. It is the bottleneck. He finds the solution everywhere but has yet to see it. He couldn’t get his tasks done on time. He keeps moving his deadlines. Suddenly he turns to his guide. Where he realizes, “I cannot win by ignoring the present time” “the more I ignore the time units, the more I will live in a fantasy world” “To move towards my aim, I need to move with the time each day, i.e. schedule and living the tasks daily for each working hour”. He applied and learned that he produced more tangible results than previously. His efforts are reaping the sweet fruit that he deserves. How are you managing your time to become productive?
