We frequently hear term balanced life. But how is it looks like? How to understand where is a balance and where is a shortest way to it?

There is no simple answer what fits all, because we are all unique. But here is a set of leading questions what can help you understand a style to keep up balancing.

1. Write down tasks what you most likely do in the next one or two days. Set importance of each task using ABC or Covey’s scheme, where A - tasks that must be done, and soon; B - important tasks as A, but can wait; C - tasks what require immediate attention, but can be skipped without a risk; and D - nice to have tasks.
2. Are the A, B, C and D priorities produce the order what you most likely do them? If not, where is a trick?
3. Are there tasks essential for your personal and professional goals and career?
4. Do you have tasks to learn something new?
5. Is there a time for breakfast, fitness and relaxation? Do you usually have regular breakfast and meals?
6. What percentage of tasks written above will provide a value for your company, colleagues or for your boss?
7. Do you have a time for D-tasks, what you would really like to get done?
8. Imagine, if tomorrow is not a workday. How many A, B, C and D tasks, what you written above, can be applied for holiday?
9. Create a new list of personal tasks for these holidays. How many of them would include family, friends and hobby?

Here is a place for more questions. Keep writing in this list more tests, suitable personally for you. Do it regularly, for example, one question every Monday. This list is like a book with a new content every time you read. Continue asking yourself these questions and find balance and happiness.
