7. Multitask Where You Can
You may think it’s counterintuitive, but multitasking can actually create a greater work-life balance for certain people. For instance, teachers who aren’t willing to work overtime may choose to grade papers at home while the food is in the oven.
Although this technically means working at home, it can pave the way toward a better work-life balance as it allows those teachers to enjoy the early departure time. This way, they can fill their early evening hours with personal activities.
Joining a conference call while doing a working lunch or driving to work are other examples of multitasking that can improve your work life by freeing up time elsewhere.
