1. Focus on your life
The first thing you need to realize is that your life comes first. We tend to focus on our work too much and we often neglect our lives. Remember that your job or career should fit into your life, not the other way around. When your love your life, you’ll probably also love what you do for living.

2. Plan your day and stick to it
No matter how much you love doing what you do, you must plan your day and budget your time for each of the important events in your life. Use a planner, your computer or any other type of calendar that allows you to schedule your day, and plan your entire day. Make a list of things to do and appointments to keep, and at the end of the day, compare your list with the things you got done.
3. Unplug
Technology has made our lives a lot easier, but it has also connected us to so many networks and resources that it has become impossible to escape from it. Our devices were meant to keep us updated and connected with the world, but it often occupies too much of our time. You must manage your time and get grip on technology to set some time aside for yourself, or your friends and family in the real world. It’s also advised by many experts to switch off all your electronic devices and smartphones at least half an hour before going to bed.
4. Recharge yourself
Avoid being physically, emotionally or mentally exhausted. Helpguide.org calls the state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion as “burnout” which can be caused by prolonged stress. Whenever you feel overwhelmed and stressed about your future demands or your past, try to find ways to relax and recharge yourself. Burnouts can leave you feeling depressed, less energetic, and may negatively impact your self-confidence. Stress also adversely affects sleeping pattern and health.
5. Seek a mentor
It’s important that you have your goals set, not only for the day, but also for your entire life. It’s always easier to follow someone who has already achieved everything that you want to achieve in life. Therefore, it’s important that you seek a role model, someone who is already successful in the industry that you want to succeed in, and can show you the right path.
