Mastering the art of Work Life Balance😮‍💨

Hey zesties! 🍋

I know we all want to nail that elusive work-life balance, and trust me, I’m right there with you! 🫶🏻 So here’s my take on how I juggle it all while trying to achieve that balance. ⚖️

For some context, I’m currently a full-time intern while still in school. On top of that, I squeeze in spin classes, driving lessons, and make time for my partner and friends!

👩🏼‍💻Like most working adults, my weekdays are packed with my 9am to 6:30pm office job. Since I’m interning at an SME, there’s always a lot to do (but hey, I’ve learned so much more compared to my previous MNC internship). Some days, I also have classes to attend, so I either leave work early or head home to join online classes. Fridays are my juggle days—I attend morning classes before heading to work. But honestly, for some online classes, I skip live sessions and study on my own time (work smarter, not harder, right?).

📚I also have school assignments to do and I usually tackle them after work or on weekends. My weekends are also for spin classes, driving lessons, and maximizing my time by starting my day early. Spin class is my non-negotiable! It’s a must for keeping fit and, honestly, for stress relief.

👥I also make time to catch up with my partner for dinner after work or on weekends when we can. It definitely takes understanding and compromise on both sides, but it works for us! I also try to meet my friends occasional for catch up!

If I’m being real, my days feel like i’m always hustling. Sometimes, it’s like I’m running a race🏁, chionging from one thing/place to another. But even with this hectic pace, I feel so much more fulfilled than when I used to stay home all the time. But when I get super exhasted, I take time to rest too because afterall I’m still human :)

On top of that, earning some extra income means I can treat myself without constantly feeling broke!💰

In the end, I think the key 🗝️to mastering work-life balance is discipline, productivity, and setting personal goals. Oh, and planning out your time is a game-changer too!⏳

Tbh this was something I thought I could never pull off! If you ask me, I was never a work + study + exercise gurlie because I am always a “I can only do things one at a time” kinda person🤣. Ngl the me 1 year ago was nowhere close to this! But I think setting my mind onto the things I want to achieve in life motivated me to be more productive and to live a more fulfilling life!

Just wanted to share about my life and I hope you guys can find hope and inspiration through this post 🥹 and remember to never give up!💪🏻
