现代生活中，工作和生活之间总有一个平衡点，很多时候，来自各方面的压力让我们不得不过多的顾及了工作而忽略了生活。如何让生活和工作这个跷跷板平衡呢？面对工作和家庭，你将如何做出选择？英孚教育职场导师Annie精心总结了3种强而有力的方法，帮助你合理处理工作与生活的平衡问题，减轻压力，最大程度地实现人生目标。

There is always a balance between work and life.Many times, we have no time to pay attention to our life because our job asks the most from various external pressures. How can we balance work and family? How can we make a choice in face of work and family? This article summarizes three powerful methods to help you handle the balance between work and lifeproperly, reduce stress and realize the objective to the max.

1) 选择合适的工作，制定好自己的人生目标。在人生的每个发展的不同阶段都有着不一样的追求和目标，从大局的角度出发，合理规划自己的人生就显尤为重要了。通过有系统的思考提前为自己设定好奋斗目标，然后坚定自己的原则，集中精力为一件事情而努力。

例如：Lizzy毕业后给自己设定的目标是三十岁做到行政总监的位置。这对于在育龄阶段的Lizzy来说是比较艰难的选择，她决定与老公商量暂缓生孩子计划，先把主要的精力投入到工作当中，她用业余的时间读了EMBA，两年后Lizzy顺利毕业的同时也完成了自己的人生目标--作为人事总监参加公司年会。

Firstly, choose the right job and make a good goal in your life. There are different pursuits and goals in different stages of life, and it is particularly important to look at the whole situation and arrange your life reasonably. You should map out your objective in advance through systematic and analytical thinking, and then stick to your principles and concentrate on one thing.

For example, Lizzy made a goal to become Director of Administration when she became thirty years old. It was more difficult for her because she also wanted to have a baby and decided with her husband to hold off on having a child and put much of her energy on work. In her spare time, she prepared for and enrolled in the EMBA. Two years later, she graduated and completed her life objective-attending the company’s annual meeting as an HRdirector.

2) 学会有规律有效率地生活，工作之余合理安排时间，从而减少工作压力。尽可能多地从你的工作中赚取可供自己自由支配的时间，以期获得更大的工作弹性。如果你在工作过程中足够投人，有足够强的时间观念，你就会拥有更高的工作效率，在你完成这项工作后，你会赢得一个从此任务转换到彼任务的过渡时间，这就是从自己的工作中赚取的时间。

例如：Cindy是某科技产品公司的项目开发总监，尽管每天的工作都很繁忙，但她依然可以做到按时高效率的完成。而在完成某一大项目之后，她都会给自己一个奖励，用在工作中赚取的时间享受休假或者带家人一起旅游，精神充电后再以最佳状态回到工作中。

Secondly, learn to live modestly, efficiently and give yourself time after work to reduce stress. In order to excel as much as possible to gain work flexibility, allow yourself free time. If you are dedicated enough to work and have a strong sense of punctuality, you will work more efficiently. After getting the work done, you will gain the free time between tasks and this is time you gained form the work.

For instance, Cindy is a director of project development in a science and technology company. Although she is very busy, she could always give herself a reward after completing a major project. That is to say she uses the time she earned in work to enjoy her holiday or take her family traveling around. After this mental recharge, she will go back to work as her best self.

3) 认清自己的能力，给自己安排合理的工作量，然后空出时间陪伴家人或享受个人生活。不要太过于追求完美或急于求成。人一天的时间是有限的，不要太过于追求完美或急于求成，在一个工作日内塞入尽可能多的工作量是不现实的，不但无法提高工作效率反而会增加犯错的几率。

例如：Eric是一家上市公司部门总监，有着自己的一套工作法则，他觉得人的精力是有限的，因此，他每天早上都会给自己制定出一份详细的工作计划表同时也会留出一定的时间来应对突如起来的变化或者紧急情况。如果工作任务提前完成，Eric就会约朋友去健身、喝茶或者回家陪家人孩子。

Thirdly, realize your own ability and set realistic expectations for your workload. After that, find time to spend with family or enjoy your life. There is only a certain amount of hours in the day so you had better not be a perfectionist and avoid the pitfalls of rushing forward. It is impractical to do as much work as possible in one weekday and that will not improve your work efficiency. On the contrary, it increases the chances for mistakes.

For example, Eric is a department director in a listed company. He has his own set of work rules and he thinks a person’s energy is limited so he could make a detailed schedule every morning and at the same time, put some time aside to deal with unexpected changes and emergencies. If he gets his work finished early,he will make arrangements with friends for the gym, drinking tea or going home to his family.
