Improve Work-Life Balance

 Improve Work-Life Balance


Whether you work remotely or in an office, it can be tempting to push through an illness or stay partially plugged in during time off. But time away from work, whether it’s sick leave, personal time, vacation, or bereavement, is essential to your well-being. 


Even if you do take paid time off, it can be tough to truly disconnect. One survey found that nearly 70% of workers admit to working while on vacation. To get the full benefit of time off, it’s important to commit to it. Inform your team and stakeholders that you will be unavailable, and leave them with a plan of action for when problems arise (ideally, a plan that does not involve your attention). Once your time off begins, log out of email, silence notifications, and allow yourself the space to disconnect without guilt.
