balance automatically. Achieving balance is an ongoing process. Understanding this
can reduce frustration and help you act to gain control.
2. Write Down Family Goals. Family needs change over time. Opportunities to build a
tree house for the kids or participate in a new family pastime dont last forever. Decide
what is important and write it down. Assign a date, and make these goals absolutelywill-happens.
3. Stick to Your Values. Sometimes it can be tough to make a choice between a family
and a work activity. Knowing where you stand on your values can make tough choices
easier.

jobs and responsibilities are important and that they sometimes take priority.

children, home relationships, and everyones future happiness. Recognizing this can help
you keep balance in mind.

sometimes finds relief naturally through workplace distractions and procrastination. If
you are at the office for 12 hours, do you really work only 10? If you are searching for
more family time, it might be found here.
8. Discuss Expectations and Responsibilities. When one family member is taking on
too many responsibilities at home, resentments can build. Periodically discussing the
perceptions of others can provide the awareness you need to consider opportunities and
choices for work and family balance.
