Do you ever feel like you spend way too much time sitting at your desk? Or find yourself missing out on social events because you're overloaded by busy work? Finding balance in our busy lives is an understandably difficult task. It seems like there is always more that we could do, and yet, we are always running out of time. Here are some tips on how to get things done while still maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
Building healthy routines can habituate good lifestyle choices, such as staying focused during work or sticking to a workout schedule. Having a routine for yourself doesn't only help enforce a healthy lifestyle, but also saves up mental space that would have been used to plan out your days. First, take a look at how you are currently spending your time. Are you satisfied with the amount of work you are producing? The amount of sleep you are getting? What are you doing during your breaks? When do you get the most tired? These are some introspective questions to ask yourself before you begin building your new routine.

To maintain a balanced lifestyle, it is also very important to set priorities. Think about what social roles are most important to you in this stage of your life. For example, a family member, a student, a club president, and a friend. When you set about your day, focus on the actions that are furthering those prioritized identities.
