Is Your Job Killing Your Love Life? How to Have A Great Career & Amazing Romance

How To Balance Career & Love?

Everyone strives for work-life balance, but it seems sometimes that in order to have a really great career, you need to sacrifice your personal life. Or vice versa. However, that doesn’t have to be the case. If you pay attention to the choices you make and work to maximize your effectiveness in both work and love, you’ll be wildly successful at both.

Sometimes your job gets more attention, but sometimes the love life does. That way everyone has fun. Plus your partner will more likely forgive a few late nights at the office if they know you’ll make it up with a great romantic weekend.

If your career is important to you, there will be times when you put it ahead of your love.

Wherever you are, be there. When you’re at work, focus on work and get things done. When you’re spending time with your girlfriend or boyfriend, focus on your partner and leave your work behind. If you’re spending work time worrying about your love, your productivity will plummet.

On the other hand, if you’re thinking about work problems or taking customer calls when you’re supposed to be spending quality time with your soul mate, you’ll cheat both of you. Staying focused on the moment will make the best of the time you have. And quality time away from work will make you even more productive when you’re back to it.

#4. Get a long-term perspective

Regardless of how much you want career success, consider how you’ll feel if you win all the accolades possible in your profession, but you end up with no one to share it. Think about why you’re chasing the goals you’ve set for yourself and what will happen when you get there?

If you get to a point where you have to make a choice between a partner and a career, think carefully. If you’re naturally driven by ambition, you’re more likely to find another job than another life partner.

#6. Learn how to de-stress

If your chosen profession is very stressful, it’s important for your love life and your career to learn how to let off steam. Your mate won’t hang out long if you’re always a basket case and if you can’t revitalize after a stressful day, your career will suffer as well. Try proven techniques such as exercise or meditation techniques.

#7. Have patience

If you’re ambitious, you probably have a timeline that marks out dates by which you need to accomplish certain life goals. For example, “become manager by 30th birthday,” or “get married by 25th birthday.

In developing both a terrific career and a fulfilling relationship, you need to have some patience. Artificial time goals place undue stress on your career and your relationship. Keep focused on the long term and let your business life and love life unfold at a natural pace.

It’s impossible to have two first priorities. But you can have one first and a close second. If you want a great career and an amazing love life, you can have them.
