2. Sales Can Be a Difficult Profession!

their jobs

negatively impact your personal life and health.

3. 10
Strategies 4
Improving
Work Life
Balance

4. #1
DON’T
TAKE IT
HOME
WITH YOU!

5. When you go home you shouldn’t
still be thinking about work.
Even if your day was lousy,
leave it back at your desk.
Shut it down when you
shut down your computer.

6. #2
SET ASIDE
FAMILY TIME

7. Daily time with family, friends, pets -
like a meal, helping kids with
homework, watch a movie together,
sports or go to a park…
is just as important as your work!

9. You need to allow yourself some
fun time and downtime too, without
feeling guilty.
You got to take a break from “work
mode”- watch a game , go to the
Gym/Spa, take a walk, watch a movie,
sports, read a book.

10. #4
TAKE
CONTROL
OF YOUR
OWN
SCHEDULE!

11. Your Schedule is yours!
It’s not your clients' schedule, or your
company’s schedule.
It’s ok to say NO every now and
then, or ask to reschedule a
meeting.
Focus your time where it
makes the most sense for
YOU.

12. #5
DELEGATE

13. It’s ok to ask for help!
If you are overloaded,
DELEGATE tasks to
people who can help.

ifyouaskedfortheirhelp.

14. #6
PLAN IN
ADVANCE

15. Wake up 15 min early, lay in bed and
mentally plan your day.
When you’re in the shower, when you
are driving home…plan your work day,
plan the whole week…
Plan your family time;
Plan your “ME” time.

16. #7
PROTECT
YOUR
HEALTH

17. YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR HEALTH
YOUR #1 PRIORITY
Good health ensures happiness and
peace of mind!

18. #8
DON’T
INTERRUPT
YOUR
HOLIDAYS

19. Plan your holidays in ADAVANCE and
prepare your clients for this time far, far in
advance.
Take the same time off each year.
Claim it for you and it becomes a tradition.
Let everyone know this is DND time!

20. #9
DON’T
WASTE
TIME

21. If you can’t find time to do the
things you want, run an audit to spot
wasted time!
Are there things that drain your time?
✓Watching too much tv. ...
✓Answering your phone when you're in the middle of something. ...
✓Being addicted to social media. ...
✓Checking your email constantly. ...
✓Failing to put things back where they belong. ...
✓Emailing someone back and forth. ...
✓Not having a schedule in place.

22. #10
TURN OFF
YOUR CELL
PHONE

23. Pick a time every day when you turn
your cell phone completely off.
• Dinner with family
• Other family time
• Special occasions
• While you sleep
• Me time
• Whatever… give your mind a break and
focus on what matters most in your life.

24. TAKING TIME TO LIVE LIFE THE WAY YOU WANT WILL GIVE YOU MORE
ENERGY, ENTHUSIASM, HAPPINESS AND MAKE
YOU MORE PRODUCTIVE IN YOUR WORK.
YOU’LL ACHIEVE THE RIGHT BALANCE.
“ You can't have everything you want,
but you can have the things that really
matter to you.” — .

25. THANK YOU!
