Tool 4.5 Work-life balance exercise
This tool is a framework for recording how you think you are going in relation to the five things (work, self, family, time and money) that most people find important.
At its simplest, you can place a tick in the boxes ‘going well’ or ‘can be improved’ but you will get more insight and value if you can list things that are going well and others that can be improved for each of the areas. For example, in the ‘work’ row, it might be that contracting out the hay-making, working one day a week off the farm, and employing a casual gardener are going well, but weed control has become a bit out of hand and you can’t find anyone to lease you some additional land so you can expand your lamb finishing enterprise.
What is my desired work-life balance?
Draw or write what is important to you and what work-life balance looks like for you.
