In Saudi Arabia's fast-paced job market, it can be hard for professionals to balance their work and home lives. Sustainable productivity is pushed by Vision 2030, and finding this balance is important for both professional growth and personal well-being. As the head of Pathwayz Coaching, Dr. Christopher McCreanor, says, "A balanced life is a productive life." You do better at work and feel more fulfilled in your personal life when you handle your time and energy well.

These five tips will help you find a good mix between work and life and get more done.
1. Make clear lines between work and personal time
Setting limits is an important part of keeping things in balance. Set clear limits between work and personal time on your calendar and let your family and coworkers know about them. Setting limits will help you concentrate and keep you from getting burned out. "Time isn't the only thing that boundaries are about," says Dr. McCreanor. "They're also about maintaining your privacy and mental health."
2. Set priorities and manage tasks well
Put your jobs in order of how important they are and when they need to be done by. You can stay organized and not feel too busy with tools like Trello, Asana, or even a simple to-do list. "Managing your tasks is the key to avoiding stress," says Dr. McCreanor. You feel in charge and productive when you know what you need to do and do it in the right way.

3. Take breaks often to recharge
It may seem like a treat to take breaks, but they are necessary to stay focused and productive. Even short breaks at work can help you get back to work with more energy. Every day, take a short walk or relax for a few minutes to clear your mind and keep from getting burned out. Pathwayz Coaching tells its clients that to stay energized and driven at work, they should include restorative practices.
4. Be open to flexible work options
If you can, look into flexible work choices that let you fit your work around your own needs. Work-life balance can be improved by many companies in Saudi Arabia allowing employees to work from home or in a mixed setting. Talking to your boss about open schedules could help you be more productive and happy at work.
5. Spend money on your own growth
It's important to make time for personal growth. Do things you enjoy, learn new things, or just hang out with family and friends. Feeling happy and satisfied outside of work gives you more energy and a better attitude at work. "Personal development feeds professional success," says Dr. McCreanor. When you put money into yourself, you have more strength and purpose.
