All Work And No Play

Imperfectly Human: A Transparent Walk With Mr. Daley

In this episode of the Imperfectly Human podcast, Mr Daley gives you his 5 top tips for achieving work-life balance. Now, it is important to stress that these are the 5 things that have worked for Mr Daley and this is not a statement of fact that if you do the same you will achieve a work-life balance. These 5 tips are points to consider that can help you on your journey to work-life balance. The critical success factor in all of this is you. If you do not consider what is required in your life to allow you to achieve balance then you won't. Your family dynamics, your work ethic, your principles, your dedication to family and friends, your stress levels, your predisposition to mental health issues and a whole host of other things play a part in determining what you need to do to achieve YOUR work-life balance.
Mr Daleys Tips:

1. Work smarter not harder
2. Planning is key
3. You don’t have to work all-day
4. Avoid fixed workdays
5. Make time to socialise and let your hair down

They all sound simple, don't they? It's because they generally are. We are the ones that put pressure on ourselves, set unrealistic expectations for ourselves and push ourselves in ways that are damaging to our health.
