Objectives:
The objective must be prepared with some objective. If
there is no objective of the study conducted, it will give
no drawbacks and we will be left in midair to know why
we have prepared so. So an objective must reflect the
advantages & disadvantages including all basic materials
which define it and could bring out a conclusion.
Introduction:
Work Life and Personal life are the two sides of the same coin. It is
very hard to have a balance between work life and our personal
life, especially the females who have to balance their Personal as
well as their professional and have to work twenty hours a day.
The increasing work pressures, globalization and technological
advancement have made it an issue with both the sexes, all
professionals working across all levels and all industries
throughout the world. Achieving “work-life balance” is not as
simple as it sounds.
For this today a new subject has been added in our life called
Stress management, i.e how to manage your personal and
professional life. Stress management is the need of the hour.
However hard we try to go beyond a stress situation, life seems to
find new ways of stressing us out and plaguing us with anxiety
attacks. Moreover, be it our anxiety, mind-body exhaustion or our
erring attitudes, we tend to overlook causes of stress and the
conditions triggered by those. In such unsettling moments we
often forget that stressors, if not escapable, are fairly manageable
and treatable.
But the thing to see here is how one couple manages one’s
life in this stress life, consequently managing their home as well
as their office. In the life of a couple it has to see both the needs
of their home as well as the demands of their office. A male has to
perform his job in office as well as looks into the wants of his
house, whereas a woman has look into her office job as well as
has to meet the day to day affairs of home. In this situation both
of them lead a stress life and have to come up with the
challenges of life where 18 hours of the day they are involved in
work.

Literature:
into 8 slices and label each slices with areas of your life. i.e
finance, health, relationship, career, personal development etc.
now take each area and ask yourself “how satisfied am I with my
life”. To have a balanced life, the numbers should be roughly
equal. The idea is to wheel the roll smoothly. If you have a 0 in
your health and a 5 in your finances then the imbalance could be
affecting your experience of life and how happy you feel. This
unevenness is giving you a bumpy ride. Take each area and write
down one thing you can do today to feel better. It could be make
a phone call, arrange to see a friend who you haven't seen for
ages, to eat a healthy meal, anything just do it. Notice the
immediate difference you feel when you take the action you've
been putting off.
enjoying the living of it. If balance between work and life outside
of work is not maintained, your well-being can suffer, harming
your peace of mind, physical health, and your relationships. Even
if you love your work, thrive on it, and can do it all day and into
the night, it is important to take some time to rest and create a
balance. Your relationships need attention, your spirit needs
nurturing, your body needs care, and your mind needs some time
off. If these are neglected, there is no how you can make up for
their loss? Accordingly you can do 10 different things every day to
aid you in this worthy endeavor.
meet both career and life goals and will promote the long-term
success of the organization.
We can see with the following example how companies today are
handling these issues:
Conclusion:
This will help them achieve their personal and professional goals
as well the organization they are working for.
