Citybuzz Marketing On How To Achieve Balance as an Entrepreneur

MANCHESTER, UK, September 2013 – As a profession, entrepreneurship breeds anything but balance. The highs can be stratospheric and the lows can be crushing. Trying to find your rhythm in a highly competitive market can take its toll and sometimes entrepreneurs burn out far too soon. But there are ways to maintain balance despite the roller coaster ride.

1. Replace your to-do's with routines.
For busy entrepreneurs, getting everything done is rare. The key to forming good habits is to make them part of your daily routine. It's one way to bundle good habits into regular times that you set aside to prepare yourself for the life you want. Rituals help you form habits. Keep your morning open for major projects when your mind is fresh. Spend your afternoon doing administrative tasks.

2. Take a break to relax.
Entrepreneurs spend an inordinate amount of time inside of their own heads -- thinking, analysing, agonizing and obsessing over every little detail of business. Taking time to relax your mind can help sharpen your focus and allow you to work for longer periods of time. In entrepreneurship, nothing ever goes as planned. By taking time to slow down and gather your thoughts, you realize what tasks are most important to accomplish each day.

3. Exercise and eat right.
As an entrepreneur, it's easy to rationalize exercise avoidance but by neglecting to exercise, your productivity can be diminished and in the long run you can lose time. Whether you like yoga, the gym, or running, make it a part of your daily routine to keep your body and mind in check. Exercise is a stress reliever, with increased serotonin and endorphin levels that help to calm your mind. You'll charge through work much more efficiently after a quick energy boost as well. Nutrition is another big factor. Your productivity is directly tied to the food you eat. Processed foods, fast food and sugary drinks can decrease your energy and throw your work-life balance out of whack. You should eliminate them entirely. Also, drink lots of water as it flushes out toxins and makes your body run like a well-oiled machine.

4. Stay in contact with friends and family.
People who own and run their own business like to think of themselves as a remote island. With late nights, early mornings and weekends spent answering "one last email," the entrepreneurial lifestyle can seem diametrically opposed to maintaining a normal social life. But humans need social interaction to function and by using the support of those who care about you most, you can put all the little entrepreneurial hiccups in perspective and more easily stay grounded.

5. Disconnect from technology when you can.
Sometimes it feels like any minute not spent working is wasted. But entrepreneurs are not machines and you need time off. That means totally unplugging. No laptop, no phone, no tablets and as little technology as possible. When you designate time to unplug from devices and from work you have more time to relax, read, cook, workout, get outdoors, enjoy the people you love, take a nap and everything else you say you "don't have enough time to do."
