You may regain control of your unbalanced life in numerous ways. Here are five.

Tip #1: Say No

Saying no is a skill. You can't please everyone all the time. It's alright to say no if something is demanded of you that doesn't add value to your life. This includes electronics.

Turn off your computer, phone, iPad, etc. for a few hours every night. Set an “out of office” auto-reply on your emails and texts to let people know you will respond when you return. You deserve some me-time.

Tip #2: Self-Awareness

Make yourself a priority. For some, this means spending time alone or reviving a long-lost interest. This covers your mental, bodily, and spiritual well-being. Remove all pollutants, including negative influences. After all, if you don't look after yourself, you'll get burned out and possibly have a breakdown.

Tip #3: Focus on Relationships

While your paychecks may look beautiful, your kids may not remember everything you purchased them. They will remember the time you spent with them. Time is a limited resource that cannot be replaced. So spend time with your loved ones. Those are the important things in life.

Tip #4: Become more aware of your surroundings

Have you always wanted to learn something or travel somewhere? Take your time. Consider a lesson or a trip. Experiencing doesn't require leaving your home. Find out what's unique about your area and go explore it. You never know what you'll find.

Tip #5: Plan Your Time

Time management is vital when you want to take back control of your life. That is, if your workday starts at 8 AM and concludes at 5 PM, you must stop at 5 PM. Sure, if you're finishing a project, you can go a bit late, but don't let work consume your life. You may need to schedule time with loved ones until you find balance. This is wonderful advice, especially if your work-life balance has gotten out of hand.
