Balance is the key ingredient of happiness and satisfaction. If you do anything in extreme then, your chances of messing things (including relations) increase. When it comes to your job, with increasing technology, there is unlimited access to work at all times (even when your office hours are over!).
Now the question is, ‘How to restore work-life balance?’ There are many ways that you could do it. Here are a few tips:
#1. Start Saying ‘NO’!

Look, if you are intentionally available to your boss 24*7, to remain in their good books, then you shouldn’t complain. But, if that’s not the case, then just say ‘No’ to work after office hours.
#2. Replace Hard Work With Smart Work

This should be your approach to handling the office work. You can achieve this by dividing your task, setting time limits for them and most importantly, prioritization.
#3. Don’t Take The Load To Home

When you leave your office, don’t take anything home with you (not even your office mood). It’s important that you leave work things in the workplace only. Feel happy when you leave the office.
#4. Take A Break From Perfection

You don’t need to do everything perfectly. Try to keep things good or above average. This fight and obsession will never restore the work-life balance.
#5. Do Not Be A Workaholic!

This might be the biggest problem that you face to make a perfect balance. Don’t think that you have to do everything. Take rest and relax, just do your part, that’s enough.
#6. Just Relax!

If you are a person, who is full of energy then, that’s good for you. It’s amazing that you are passionate about your work but, never be extreme with it. Always understand the difference between workplace and home.
#7. What Will You Do If You Don’t Have A Job?

Think about it. You can focus on your hobbies. Take out time to do what you like apart from your job. This will relax you and broaden your mind for other things.
#8. Don’t Be Available All The Time

When you send a mail to your colleague and expect their answer during the non-working hours then, always remember to mention that you will be able to reply only after 12-24 hours.
#9. Think Of ‘How Much Can I Deliver?’

When you target some amount of work and make it your goal to complete that work in the office time then, you make yourself satisfied. This is another way to balance things.
