10 ways to improve your work/life balance

Juggling work and life commitments can often be hard. Here’s 10 tips to getting back on track.

1. Shape up

Skip the bus and walk instead, get off the elevator and take the stairs, there’s simple ways to incorporate exercise into your daily routine that doesn’t have you sweating at the gym. By getting your body moving throughout the day you’ll be energised, healthier and more productive.

2. Travel

Take some of those hard-earned pennies and splash out on a trip, because travel is one of the most enriching ways you can broaden your mind.

With Amadeus Selling Platform Connect, if you can’t afford time off, you can take your office with you. Just log-on online from any corner of the globe, and before you know it, your office is a beach in Barbados.

3. Eat better

It’s a well-known fact that improving your diet simultaneously improves the quality of your life; so swapping those fries for healthier options occasionally will give you the boost you need at work and home.

Here’s a handy tip: Do you often find yourself pressed for time to make a healthy lunch in the morning rush? Just cook larger quantities when preparing your healthy dinner, so you can pack the leftovers to take to the office the next day.

4. Leave work early

We know it’s near impossible to tear yourself away from the endless to-do list begging for attention on your desk, in order to foster a healthy work/life balance you must be prepared to switch off at times.

Now with Amadeus’ online booking solution, you can. Escape the office, hit the beach with the family, sit down to a device-free meal and check those bookings later, once you’ve tucked the kids into bed.

5. Do something for yourself

At least once a week, take some time out for yourself, and indulge in a little ‘me-time’ activity.

Whether it’s a spot of shopping, a long beach walk, a massage or a night out with friends, shuffle your schedule so you can slot in something that boosts your mood.

6. Sleep in

It’s widely known the average adult needs at least eight hours of sleep each night to perform at their best.

Most agents using Amadeus can afford to schedule in a little extra shut-eye, because of the freedom the new platform gives to work your own hours, and work more efficiently because of simplified workspace features.

7. Spend more time with loved ones

Your parents, siblings, partner, best friend and even your beloved pet – are all vying for your attention, and in order to maintain a steady work/life balance, you need to make time for them.

Whether you catch up on a quick call between bookings or make it a weekly dinner ritual, your life will improve exponentially when you surround yourself with loved ones.

8. Sort out your finances

Working overtime to boost your bottom line is something many struggle with, but having a budget in place will help you hit goals.

Agents using Amadeus Selling Platform Connect will find that saving dollars is made easy because of its fast-tracked booking process and intuitive search features, ensuring you get more out of your day.

9. Write to-do lists

At the beginning of each day, write a realistic list of everything you hope to achieve in the day, prioritising each task.

You’ll feel a sense of accomplishment with each task you tick off, and having the reminders will inspire you to work efficiently, so you can wrap up your day and head home in time for The Block.

10. Socialise with your colleagues

Work can sometimes seem tedious, so taking a break and doing something with your colleagues can improve the office mood.

Start organising an after-work sport, or staff dinner once a month. With Amadeus’ simplified system, your staff can afford the long lunch, because working, training and upskilling now requires much less effort.
