For both men and women, work/life balance provides the energy needed to excel in every aspect of life. Visit [ Ссылка ] to book Joel for a presentation or training on this topic: “Unplug, Disengage, Disconnect: How to Create Balance in Your Work and Your Life.”
To think creatively, you need to do all of the following on a daily basis:
• Learn to slow down.
• Allow your mind to wander and explore.
• Take more breaks during the workday.
• Truly let go of work during your breaks.
These work life balance tips for women might seem to go against conventional wisdom—which says you need to keep the momentum going at a steady (or frantic) pace—but they’re vital to performing at your best.
Why? There are two sides of your brain. It has a task-focused side and a creative side—the one that daydreams and comes up with brilliant new ideas. Your most creative ideas may often emerge while you’re not focused on work, because it’s naturally making connections that you couldn’t actively plan out.
How can you allow that side of your brain to do its work? Take breaks. This replenishes your creative energy and gives your creative side the freedom to explore. As a result, you grow more able to innovate.
You need to allow the totality of who you are to show up in your work environment. That means allowing your creative side to shine. You might be surprised at the ideas your mind generates when you’re not actively racking your brain for a solution.
Don’t wait until you’re so exhausted that you’re forced to slow down because you simply get sick or burn out. Instead, strive to maintain a continuous flow of energy by taking time to recharge throughout each day. When you allow your mind to wander and explore during this time, the connections will start happening.
That means not focusing on email, meetings, or whatever task is at hand. Give yourself a break from those tasks and demands. By doing so, you’ll stop keeping your creativity on the back burner and allow it to flourish.
