Work-life balance: Tips to reclaim control

Married to your work? Consider the cost

If you're spending most of your time working, your work and your home life might be negatively affected. Consider the consequences of poor work-life balance:

  • Fatigue. When you're tired, your ability to work productively and think clearly might suffer — which could take a toll on your professional reputation or lead to dangerous or costly mistakes.
  • Poor health. Stress can worsen symptoms related to many medical conditions and put you at risk of substance misuse.
  • Lost time with friends and loved ones. If you're working too much, you might miss important family events or milestones. This can leave you feeling left out and might harm your relationships.
