I believe that Life Balance is balancing your personal and professional life. This is something that each person has to deal with on a daily basis. You need to learn how do this in order to be happy.
Gte more work / life balance by putting everything on the tray and then juice going through it. Remember to schedule Family Time/me time. OH and please oh please leave work at work – let your day’s clock come to an end. OH and spiritually empower yourself mentally.
In my opinion, a person needs to find balance in their life in order to remain sane. Even though you need to succeed professionally, you need to make time for family or yourself. This will help avoid burn out. Spiritually empowerment will help you become one with yourself as you try to come up with a balancing plan.

Work – Life Balance
- Balancing working full time being a full time student and do my internship so I can graduate in the next 3 months. It is frustrating to balance everything and still have time for myself and get the right amount of sleep. As well as trying to continue a semi healthy lifestyle and trying to find time to work out it’s difficult to balance everything but i’m taking it one day at a time and trying not to get ahead of myself and get burn out to quick.
- Having to balance personal and professional priorities. It was frustrating because after having decided on specific outcomes with my lawyer on a particular case, he wasnt smart enough to work out the details without error and kept bugging my wife. I couldnt help much as I was away on work related travel.
- I am early in my career and looking to lock into a field where I can grow and develop, however; I feel committed to finding something that I can enjoy. So what’s most frustrating is finding a balance between pursuing a career opportunity that I will enjoy and wanting to build a solid foundation of skills.
- I just stayed at home doing nothing of importance, just procrastinating, watching TV and not doing anything that can help me land a job. It’s frustrating because I know I have to do something but I keep pushing it off because I am scared, I don’t know what I’m scared of but I just am.
- I work nights and I also have a family. I feel that I am always moving from one place to another. Family doctor appointments, homework assignments and ensuring my family has a healthy, balanced meal can be difficult when I have limited time during the day to make these things happen ( I have to sleep 7.5hrs in order to be able to work a 12 hr night shift). I am also peach farmer. The most frustrating thing in my life is the fact that there are days where I have a hard time finding time for myself. I am busy with others and making sure that they have those things that they need to make it through their day successfully, yet I am unable to find time to myself.
- I’m on a journey of self discovery and am developing a system of filing ideas that I have come across that I want to explore further at another time. The frustration is from knowing I want to have time to find out more, or do more thinking about each, but have to balance that need against the needs of work.
- In work, I was frustrated with myself. I wasn’t able to beat deadlines. I always procrastinate. I cannot find the drive to continue working. I had been disappointed with myself for not performing well. Before, while growing up, I had always been an achiever. But I cannot find my old self in my current work.
- Manage my emotions, I’ve had a rough time with my recent job search as a soon to be graduate and I find it increasingly hard to keep my arrogance and pride under wraps. Yet I find this frustrating because of I can only focus all of my attention on one thing at one time, and with a large amount of opportunities I find myself overwhelmed and increasingly becoming more critical of myself and, even more so, others around me. I critique them silently in my mind, hate them for their lack of drive and vision, and though I find myself slowly but surely ostracizing myself from my friend group. I feel as though it is my only option to become successful, to break away from the unsuccessful people in my life and focus on becoming a part of a group of people with a similar sense of ambition, yet I find my ambition, in some sense, faux. Faux in the sense that I WANT to be ambitious, but in many instances I find myself procrastinating and putting off things while I know I could be doing so much more, learning so much more, and becoming a better person.
- Something that is currently frustrating me is my job. I am struggling to find fulfillment at my current job. I like the people, company, and the emphasis on work/life balance (all extreme positives for my job). The downside is that my role is rather isolated, I don’t have measurable goals, and the only time I receive feedback from my boss is when there is an issue (all of which are common for Millennials like myself). All of this is frustrating because I want to do good work, I want to feel that my work is valued, and I want to feel like I’m part of something. If I disliked the people and the company it would be easy to say that this role is no longer a fit for me. Because I do respect the people and the company, I’m trying to find a solution for my own discontentment. My hope that learning about my skills will help me leverage them and find new ways to motivate myself.
- The most frustrating thing have had to deal with lately is explaining to my parents why I have trouble getting my homework done efficiently due to my own procrastination. Then having my mom convince me to go shopping when I told her I needed to get certain assignments done and we had already been at my Grandma’s party. Then we didn’t exactly get what we set out to get and I fell back on homework even though I believed I would have time to go shopping, but I didn’t regret the time with my family.
- Think about what I still have to get done, whether it be homework, or studying for a future test. it was frustrating because I want to make the most of my spring break, but I can’t because I keep on worrying about when it will end and the hardships of school. I feel responsible for doing my homework and getting a good mark but at the same time I procrastinate by coming up with excuses to do something else; something I enjoy.
