There is simply not enough time in the day to meet life’s demands. Aside from working 40 +/- hours per week, we stretch ourselves so thin just to keep up. Pressures to perform come from every direction – play with our animals, keep our kids fulfilled, spend quality time with family and friends, maintain our homes (i.e., laundry, dishes, house projects), keep active, embrace a healthy lifestyle, somehow get 7-8 hours of sleep every night and don’t forget about your partner.

Hustle culture is when a workplace places an intense focus on productivity, ambition, and success, with little regard for rest, self-care, or any sense of work-life balance. Gen Z’ers are every bit more ambitious (and even more anxious) than the overworked millennials before them, but they’re redefining what success looks like between work and life. We’re offering five ways to stand out amongst your colleagues that don’t threaten your work-life balance. […]

What is “Burnout?” Burnout is defined as “a state of physical or emotional exhaustion that also involves a sense of reduced accomplishment and loss of personal identity.” Despite popular belief, burnout does not derive from mental illness, rather, it comes from prolonged work-related stress. Nobody is exempt from experiencing burnout and proper measures should be taken to prevent and/or reconcile. […]

There was a time when New York was the ‘city that never sleeps’ – although, now it seems like we live in a world that never sleeps. The glorification of ‘the grind’ has caused people to aim for a state of perpetual motion, putting rest on the back burner. We often, forget to slow down and enjoy what we have while we have it. […]

The idea of January can be so refreshing – a clean slate to pave the way toward a brighter future. People tend to think in a very “macro” way when referring to January, putting all of their eggs for the year into this small basket. Before you know it, it’s the 31st, you’ve promised yourself you’d kick it into gear the last 3 Monday’s and you ultimately wind-up feeling like you’ve already failed. That feeling will likely remain prevalent in February because, well, it’s February and the Spring is a better time to start anyway, right? We’re in a bad [...]

Even the best routine can become monotonous, and there are only so many times you can sit with your cup of coffee on the same couch, watching the same show, before it loses its flare. Arguably the most common protest of working remotely is the seclusion it institutes, and employees are questioning whether their petition for remote work was worth dodging the bumper-to-bumper commute. If you’re feeling your routine has become stale and the perks of working remotely are slowly diminishing, you may need to switch things up. We’ve compiled a list of ways to [...]

Oh, the holidays! An expeditious time of year when, an already challenging, work-life balance becomes even harder to achieve.

With remote work being the new norm we thought it was time to address ways to separate work and home life. You may be adapting to bad habits without realizing it, and though working from home to some is a luxury, you are not exempt from the necessity of a work-life balance. There are two sides to everything in life, and even working remotely comes with its share of negatives. Loneliness and isolation are the largest reported concern amongst remote workers. So, the question is how do you prevent yourself from falling into this feeling, or if you already feel [...]

How do you start your morning? Whether you are doing it intentionally or not I’ll bet you have a routine that you practice daily. Studies have shown that 88% of people carry out a morning routine, and among them, over 90% were more productive because of it.

Work-life balance. A term we are all more than familiar with and yet, something that seems so far out of reach. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of a project at work and neglect your personal needs. This is not, by any means, meant to shy you away from getting that project done, but remember that it can easily become a habit to add a little time here and there to your workday, and before you know it, you’re burnt out. In this blog, we will provide you with some tips that you can add to [...]
