Keep Your Social Life

When the family is busy, schedule time with friends. Like the saying goes “Friends are family that we get to choose.” Nurturing your social side with friends and work colleagues is an important part of life balance. Go to happy hour when the kids have extracurricular activities or take a friend to lunch in the middle of your work day. Hold family barbecues and invite friends and their families. Make new friends with others who are also working to maintain the work-family balance.

Make Family Time Fun

Connect with your family by bringing a bit of entertainment to any activity. Create a music playlist to sing and dance to with your family. Listen to it on a break at work and think of your family. Make games out of chores. A race to the finish. The best duster wins. Have a game night – board game, cards, or charades. Whether working or playing, spread warmth and cheer. Laugh and have a good attitude around your family to enjoy every moment with them.
