12 Reasons for an Imbalance in Work and Life

5 – You never invest in personal relationships

Have you looked back at a week, month, or year and realized you’ve worked to the detriment of your personal relationships?

Studies show you can only maintain 150 relationships at one time. And no more than five close relationships in your inner circle.

At different points in your life, you may have to put a hold on different circles of your friendship, but always make sure you are nurturing your inner circle. Those are the people who support you no matter what, provide you with honest advice, and stability in your life.

6 – You are aimless

Make sure you have a goal hierarchy, as seen in the video below. Know your top-level values and priorities and how major aspects of your life like work, school, relationships connect. Not having any structure will hurt your productivity at work as well as your balance at home.
