Do you struggle to balance multiple aspects of your life?

[Gochogirl]

I'm becoming more active in my potential career and I'm now finding I never truly learned how to balance work, sex, relationships, and free time. Any tips?

We all struggle with to a degree yet some don’t like to admit it so thank you for Habib b courage to ask for tips. For me having free time only amplifies the struggle as left on my own for a day I’m likely to spend hours being sexual or playing games and not being balanced.


Set and plan a schedule
No this doesn’t mean you are a slave to every hour of your day regimented. But it does mean for example on Thursday nights you meet for dinner with your family so you gotta be responsible to show up and plan to get there on time. Having weekly events and responsibilities help you stay balanced by not spending the entire day on one thing.


Be accountable to friends and family and coworkers


You don’t have to be perfect and can still go out and party on a Saturday night. But if work starts at 8:00 am on Monday you must get the sleep and be ready Sunday night and it helps me from staying up really late watching porn or playing a game. Also I have friends who check in so I can’t lie to them about what I did over the weekend so have to stay balanced.


Love yourself first


Many of us like to be helpful and useful and provide to others often in an unbalanced way. I admit to taking hours out of my free time to talk to a stranger and try to listen and help when I should be exercising or preparing code or even sleeping. That is not loving myself. I should be able to have a schedule where I exercise, eat right, meditate, and be social so that I love and take care of myself first. But also balance those activities with my goals and responsibilities we all have as adults. I know when my house is clean and the outside looks good that all that work helps me mentally feel good every week.


Those are a few tips and I would suggest you start slow and make one choice/goal for the month of June. Just adjust one thing in your life and when July rolls around add something else.

You're so fucking intelligent, damn. Everyone send this guy money and nudes and pizza, he's the best.

Work/life balance is tough. My only tip is if you have vacation time take it. Be proactive with friends and plan things in advance. Staycations are good too. Just make sure you set parameters to put work down. If you're in a relationship make time for each other. It's really about not taking time for granted. Proactive planning is on you. Try to hold yourself accountable. Good luck

Still struggling with this one myself, honestly, with my work situation, I'm not ready to be in a relationship. My advice, start with one or two aspects (I'd say work and free time first) and then try adding relationships.

I don't balance, I just go with th flow until a problem forms, then I solve the problem and keep going with the flow, it's pretty simple really

Literally schedule personal time for yourself and friends/family/partner. If you don't, you'll never have time for loved ones, or the aptitude of increasing work deman6promotions require.

I get up at 5AM to workout. That saves two hours during the day.

I applaud you.
First, regardless of your past... you HAVE WORTH!

[Andres77]

It doesn't matter if you've been a victim of anything. You DO have worth.
I you don't need to prove anything to anyone but yourself.
Set standards for yourself. If anyone EVER tries to get you to deviate from your standards then they are not your friend.
Start there.

learn how to say no to people or to certainthings, you gotta remind yourself you can’t do everything sometimes.

I struggle with not spending to much time working. I do spend time trying to date and that but have yet to have any success so that's never been a worry tbh.

[Jltakk]

I have issues balancing just work and sleep. I have no sex, money and relationships to worry about.

[VaguelyAsianLisbeth]

I abstain for obvious reasons. Love you baby :*
