TIP # 5 TAKE YOUR VACATION
• Not taking your vacation only lowers your productivity. Even if your vacation is staying at home for a week( for a“ staycation”), or just two extra days for a 4-day weekend, it’ s worth it to get some downtime and rejuvenate.

Work / life balance can be a difficult feat, it’ s demanding – especially for a paralegal.
At work, you’ re constantly on the go. You keep track of multiple cases and all the logistics that go along with those cases, from court hearings to case files to scheduling and more. And at home? You’ re constantly on the go there too. Yet finding balance between your work life and your personal life is critical. Yes, you want to excel in your career, but if you don’ t take care of yourself, your productivity— and promote-ability— will decrease.
TIP # 6 START SMALL
To help you find that elusive work / life balance, consider these six tips:
• Big changes don’ t happen overnight. It’ s not as if you’ re going to commit to work / life balance on Monday and achieve it on Tuesday( or Wednesday or Thursday or …). So, start small.
• Go through the tips above and choose one. Apply that tip to your life for a month. Then the next month, choose another, and so on.

TIP # 2 SCHEDULE DOWNTIME
• If you don’ t schedule the downtime, it won’ t happen, and if you don’ t have the downtime, you’ ll end up burned out.
• Set aside one day of the week that’ s free of any plans, and use this time to do something that makes you happy. Go running, go to yoga, write in a journal, watch TV, cook … whatever it is that feeds your soul, get it on your calendar.
