 Most people try to balance between work and other parts of lives. nfortunately, not many achieve this delicate balance. What are the main problems people facing and what is the best way to overcome this.

One of the most challenging aspects of the current century is the difficulty in keeping the right balance between work and life. Most are seen struggling to achieve this parity. There are several reasons and associated problems with this, but can be  overcome with prudent strategies. 

In the competitive business environment, it is extremely tough to survive if one is less ambitious; thus, one tends to spend more time at the workplace, especially due to reforms in the education sector, where a new generation enters into the corporate world with higher grades and good educational qualifications. This creates a threat among existing workers that in case of poor performance they can easily be replaced with young talent. Such competition restricts one from taking out time for other things in life. Also, it is generally witnessed that middle aged workers prefer to learn new technologies in their free time rather than spending time with families to secure their position in the market. This is leading o stress and strained family relationships. 

Nevertheless,  this challenge can be  overcome though not easily, but one must attempt limiting intervention of professional aspirations in their personal lives: they must not take their work home, and  their home to work. Companies should also step forward by defining definite working  hours to render a healthy balance to their staff. Moreover, setting certain parameters to control the workload and creating awareness regarding the drawbacks of excessive working can help in controlling the adverse effects.

To conclude, one should restrict bringing work home until it is not of paramount importance. Also, priority is the key to achieve the right work-life balance, and having realistic goals and ambitions rather than  superfluous ones is equally important.
