Abstract

The study may enhance your mental health by keeping a healthy work-life balance by establishing clear priorities, setting realistic plans and routines, and learning time management skills. To achieve work-life harmony, you must do more than simply pare down your to-do list. The benefits of a well-balanced schedule are not limited to people who have a lot of work to do; in fact, the better mental health that comes from a work-life balance may lead to improved productivity.
If you want to keep a good work-life balance, you need to know what that looks like for you, given your unique set of circumstances. Many individuals underestimate the significance of work-life balance because they have erroneous or no perceptions of what it may or should look like.
WORK-LIFE BALANCE
Work-life balance seems to be the capacity of a person to meet their family and work obligations, as well as other commitments and activities undertaken outside of work hours and during their leisure time. In order to maintain a healthy work-life balance, you don't have to divide time equally between work and personal pursuits. An individual's capacity to retain happiness in both their personal and professional lives while also managing their time and efforts efficiently is known as ‘work-life balance.’
