Experts agree: the compounding stress from the never-ending workday is damaging. It can hurt relationships, health and overall happiness.
Here are some tips suggested by experts to help you find the balance that’s right for you:
1. Let go of perfectionism: the healthier option is to strive not for perfection, but for excellence.
2. Unplug: by not constantly reacting to the updates from work, you will develop a stronger habit of resilience.
3. Exercise and meditate: exercise, yoga or meditation are effective stress reducers. They pump feel-good endorphins through your body.
4. Limit time-wasting activities and people: identify what’s most important in your life and make sure it truly reflects your priorities. Then, draw firm boundaries so you can devote quality time to these high-priority people and activities.
5. Change the structure of your life: instead of trying to do it all, focus on activities you specialize in and value most. Delegate or outsource everything else.
6. Start small. Build from there: taking on too much too quickly is a recipe for failure, so start with small changes.

Today we focus more on how to talk and less on how to listen Others. We spend roughly 60 percent of our communication time listening, but we’re not very good at it. We retain just 25 percent of what we hear. This is not trivial, because listening is our access to understanding. Conscious listening always creates understanding.
In this interesting TED Talk, Julian Treasure, sound consultant, shares five ways to re-tune our ears for conscious listening, to other people and the world around us.
