Work life balance checklist

Lack of a good night’s sleep can play havoc with our wellbeing and the evidence is clear that we work better, heal faster and restore energy levels when we have adequate sleep.

Check out our work life balance guide and complete this month’s web poll on the same topic.

Take control: prioritise your time by writing to-do lists and action plans, that way you can monitor workload and allocate your time more efficiently.
Simplify: don’t become overburdened with tasks and responsibilities in life - find a way to ease the load. Delegate, de-clutter and don’t dwell on mistakes.
Plan: visualise how you will maximise leisure time on a daily basis - action is the enemy of procrastination.
Exercise: 30 minutes of physical activity a day is recommended to increase relaxation and help promote a good night’s sleep.
Regulate: wake, sleep and eat at consistent times of the day to regulate your body clock and help trigger the off switch when it’s time to unwind.
Organise: free up time by using online services to replace tedious chores such as banking, paying bills and grocery shopping.
Socialise: build a support network of friends, and talk and meet regularly.
Nurture: encourage a culture of caring and sharing with colleagues.
Focus: stay tuned to what is positive in your life and think about it often.
Motivate: support others, seek advice and set achievable goals.
