Work - Life - Steemit

'Work Life' balance isn't just a buzz word or corporate jargon, it has become the way of life for many individuals who relentlessly pursue that perfect combination that will allow them to succeed at office as well at home.

But what do you do when another unusual suspect joins the gang - how do you handle the holy triad?

1. Work

Work is what you do to earn a living, and if you're passionate about your work then the journey at office becomes more rewarding.

Some people work under someone, some freelance, some are their own boss - yet the essential ingredients for succeeding at work remain the same.

Time management is as important as prioritizing your tasks. An easy way for segregating action items is to tag them as Critical, ASAP or Later which allows you to know which task needs to be closed when. Your style of work should be focused, which will allow no room for distractions. However you also need to be proactive and emergency situations would require quick measures which are not necessarily planned beforehand. Leverage your strengths yet at the same time you might need to work on the areas where you can improve. Importantly, you need to learn to say 'No' sometimes. Moreover, professional life should not invade into your personal space.

2. Life

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

You need to unwind at the end of the day, you need to dedicate time to your family, you need to spend some time on yourself to rejuvenate and to relax. Because when the sun of your life finally sets, most of all you'll cherish the memories that you made and the people you met, and will be grateful for a life well spent.

Work has it's own place, yet it should not take over your life such that you lose track of the fact that you have only one life to live, so make it count in the most awesome ways.

3. Steemit

Steemit is a place where you meet new people, share stories and create memories. You get paid for it.

I don't go on Facebook much nowadays, Twitter and Instagram were never really an important part of my universe. So that leaves me a lot of social media time that I can dedicate to Steemit. I find the community here to be well-meaning, helpful and kind with people from across the world sharing wonderful aspects of their lives. This is the most magnetic aspect that pulls me towards Steemit and forces me to dedicate a part of my time to the site. Getting rewarded is desirable, yet the social aspect is equally important. After all we're humans, we like to be social, well, most of us. You can dedicate a few hours a week, or a few hours a day, depends on how your life is playing out. But remember, Balance is the key.

So where does Steemit fit into your scheme of things?
