Currently, most people struggle to separate work from personal life. However, there are expert recommendations that can help.

According to organizational psychologist Cary Cooper from the University of Manchester, cited in Notícias ao Minuto, achieving this balance is essential for well-being. The expert offers some practical tips for those looking to better manage their personal and professional responsibilities, allowing for a more balanced and healthy life.

These are Cary Cooper's suggestions, as seen in the news, for achieving a healthy balance between personal and professional life.

• Give priority to tasks during the workday to leave on time: The expert warned of a study that "showed that people who constantly work many hours get sick with a physical or psychological illness if they continue to work excessively"   

• Check work on your phone only during working hours: That is, you should not "access your smartphone at night, nor on weekends, nor when you are on vacation to read emails".

• Stay socially active: Try, in order to relax, advises the specialist, to organize "one night a week, maybe two nights a week, to go out to eat with someone you know, someone who is really important to you".

• Create a good relationship with the boss: "The more you get to know him and build a good relationship, the more flexible you will be in terms of workload and demanding to work more hours."

• Be kind: You must cultivate "a sustainable relationship with all the people in your life [social and professional], which in turn will help you achieve a good balance".
