Hi everyone...

Wow, as usual I am always excited to wait for the prompts from this community every week. By following the prompts as if we are being invited to discuss, it is very important to follow the prompts, especially if it concerns the mindset. I admit, if the prompt is about cooking, I choose to back down because I am not good at cooking. For that, this week's theme is very suitable for me.
Work-life balance…
This is one of the sentences that is currently popular among workers, especially for employees of a company. Indeed, the more we grow up, the more time we lose for ourselves. Unlike when we were children, all our time was for ourselves, namely playing with friends. However, as we grow older and become adults, almost all of our time is spent working. This is because, as adults we are required to meet all our own needs. How to do it, namely by working.
As a worker in a country with minimal wages, having one job certainly will not make life peaceful. It does not mean that having one job is not enough, of course it is enough, but as an adult, enough is not enough. So you have to get a side hustle to be able to make your life stable. To be honest, I do not depend on 1 income, namely several and still continue to look for other sources of income even though they are small. Can you imagine how I divide my time between work and my personal life? Of course I can. I choose a flexible main job and choose a side hustle that certainly will not interfere with my main job and personal life.
Previously, even though I worked, I felt that my working time was still not enough, so I still had a lot of time for my personal life. Yes, because I live alone too, I feel that my personal life is more than my working time. However, when the pressure from my main job increased, I actually felt that my work and life were truly balanced. Why do I call it that? Because the lack of time for life made me decide firmly. For example, lately a fairly heavy job made me sure that I no longer wanted to be on the night shift which required me to stay awake all night. Because there is a policy of limiting working hours for women, I took that opportunity to reduce my stressors. Previously, I preferred working the night shift because I was a night owl. However, because I started to be aware of my health as I got older, I felt that I had to love myself by no longer working at night.
Then my way to Balance Work & Life is by getting enough sleep, having a lot of time to be alone to nice places, even if it's just to read a book. Or yes, just sleeping when off duty. I will also apply for leave every month just to take a break from work and take time to cook, clean the house, and get enough sleep. My goal this year is to become a morning person, although the progress is very slow, not being awake to work is one of the big steps to achieve that goal.
So, for me balancing work & life is very important even though it is very difficult to do. How about you?
Thanks in advance, to read my blog and hope you like my post!

Hi, Halo, Annyeong, welcome to my galaxy.
I have so much imagination in my head. Something that I can't achieve as a human and as a girl. So writing is very challenging. Since Junior High School, I have written whatever I want to write. Without skill, I just write what I want to read. Now I have 12th published novels and all of those are romance.
Yeah, I proudly say that I am a passionate author, traveler wannabe, and blogger.
I agree with you 1 income is not enough so I make sure to find some other source of income because if my salary is 500 pesos and my expencess daily is 500 pesos also I have nothing more left to pay for my bills.
Yup, we should to second hustle and keep our work life balance. I hope you will better income...
I believe that many of us are striving to make ends meet. Personally, I have worked hard to find additional sources of income because there are numerous bills to pay, and we must also consider our daily needs. This is especially important if you have a family to support; we really have to put in the effort.
Yup @luthis26 I agree with you that we should to consider to our daily needs especially if we have a family to support.
yeah , i agree to you , that one income isn't enough , we have to pay bills and also our daily needs. we need to seek other or need extra income to have a extra money , many are struggling but still manage to pay there bills, ,. balancing work and life , its tough but we need to survive , and make a living ,
I hope you can balancing your work & life. although we should struggle, one thing important that we should to know how far ourselves can do. Keep hard working and stay healthy..Exactly @shydel we need to more income to saving and buy some assets :D

Thanks for your compliment @stephaniepie2005 as an adult and single, we should to hardworking right?
yes and that's how life actually work, so we must do our jobs and be a better person for other people🥹❤️
You are a hardworking lady with different jobs, and who wants to make life better. Working at night is not good for our health especially long periods of time. I have experienced that too, and I got affected by it physically. Haha, we have the same goal-to be a morning person. That is my struggle too. True, having work-life balance is important for our total well-being. They say "work hard, but play harder" LoL...😀
As I said before, as an adult we need to stability life :D
God bless you also...Hi @bettsmarie09 thanks for stopped by.
