Life can be very mundane and boring, especially when our day to day activities are all the same. When it comes to work, it can be very unpredictable and even nerve racking at times. With jobs being so scarce we all have to hold on to whatever we have. Work can consume your life, if you let it.
The army does a good service to family members by providing work calendars and special events to bring families closer but not normal jobs. I have been struggling to create some semblance of a life outside of work lately but there are a few tips I can share with those who struggle with the same issue.
Don't bring work home often. I brought work home everyday for months. It really scewed the idea of home life and work life for me. I do have a blackberry but I don't check it every hour on the hour.
Don't stay late at work to finish something you can do the very next day. If there's no vital deadline then leave it alone and go home at the appropriate time. There's nothing worse than seeing someone who was missing picking up their kid because of no particularly good work reason.
Take vacations and days off! They are given to you for a reason, use it. Go on vacations, relax at home , do whatever you want for a day with your hard earned money!
When at home, don't talk about work. It's hard to shun away something we spend more than 9 hours a day on but its necessary! Talk to loved ones about other things, long term life plans, etc.
Make plans with friends and do things to look forward to outside of work. Even if on a weekday, go for that drink at a bar. go to a friend's house and watch DVD's, etc.
My blog was created for my friends and subscribers. I talk about what I feel is important and interesting to me. Celebrities, makeup, current events, hair, advice and my life! Thanks for coming by, hope you guys enjoy :)
