The Great Resignation has created a once-in-a-generation opportunity for us to redefine success and, along with it, the way we work and live. Life-work integration is a framework on which we can build a way of living and working that allows us to truly thrive.

In a world of life-work integration we redefine success for ourselves, and work is just one way to fulfil that definition. It’s about wellbeing as a set of guiding principles that we can design our day around. It starts with asking ourselves what our non-negotiables are and what allows us to show up as our best selves.

Here are three simple strategies to help improve your life-work integration and build healthier habits. Which will you try?

Declare an end to each workday, even if you haven’t completed every last thing on your to-do list.

Truly prioritising means being comfortable with incompletions. When you take time to recharge, you’ll return to seize opportunities.

Set time on your calendar to focus on your passions each week – even just a few minutes.

You wouldn’t miss an important meeting or doctor’s appointment, so treat this time with the same respect. You’ll begin to build the muscle of prioritising the things that bring you joy.

Take a short break at least once a day.

Taking just a few minutes to do something that energises you will help you return to your work with renewed focus and purpose.
