being as it prevents burnout, reduces stress,
and enhances productivity. Setting
boundaries such as establishing dedicated
work hours and separating workspaces from
personal areas can help. Scheduling leisure

with loved ones is vital. Practicing self-care

sleep, and healthy eating fosters balance.
