Steps you can take to effectively manage work-life stress and balance

Make those after-hours work emails wait
Our tip - Set boundaries for yourself and others, including during work hours. Give yourself a cut-off time for answering emails and phone calls. Chances are your job doesn’t require you to respond to emails overnight.

Face problems head on
Our tip - Stress can start when individuals don’t take action as soon as problems arise, especially when you can have some control over them. Start to address the situation — even if it’s not solved immediately. It’s better to make a phone call or send an email to deal with it straight off the bat.

Understand the difference between negative and positive stress
Our tip - Positive stress typically occurs when individuals receive good news like an upcoming wedding, holidays, or pregnancy. Negative stress is a feeling can be short or long-term. It usually occurs when you’re unprepared or simply don’t have the capacity to deal with a stressful situation. It causes anxiety, concern and can lead to physical, mental and emotional problems.

Aim for quality sleep
Our tip - Going to bed with your mind still wired towards work isn’t conducive to healthy sleep. Set yourself a switch-off time in the evening after which you don’t use your devices in a work-related manner.

Exercise your body and mind
Our tip - Give stress a physical release through exercise. Consider mindful activities such as yoga, meditation, and Tai Chi as their effects on physical and mental wellness have been well-documented. Even a simple controlled breathing technique can help stress management in the workplace.

Say no if you need to
Our tip - If you’re uncertain of your personal capacity to handle a work-related matter, simply ask yourself these four questions:
1. “Can I deliver an outcome or resolution to the question, task or request?”
2. “Do I have the time for it?”
3. “Can I delegate it?”
4. “What really matters in this situation?”

Write things down
Our tip - You can never write things down with a negative mindset. Try it.

Strive for a better work-life balance
Our tip - Plan ahead, set deadlines for yourself and your team. It’s that simple.

Executive Coaching: The conclusion
Create a schedule, form new habits that encourage balance and follow through on your plan of action. From getting enough sleep to not checking your emails until you’re out the door the next morning, a well-rounded routine will help you achieve the stress-free work/life balance you and your organisation need.
