One of the biggest struggles people experience during that transition into adulthood is time management. How many of us just feel overwhelmed throughout the day?
It's never good to always feel like you're playing catch up, and a new study from Study Finds has proven that it's important always to make time for yourself.
The study says that attempting to work or study during your "off hours" can actually be counterproductive, and can actually harm your motivation moving forward.
Kaitlin Woolley, an associate professor of marketing in the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, said that if "you're working during time that you've mentally encoded as time off, or as time that should be for a vacation, and that can make you feel suddenly that your work is less enjoyable."
Woolley says it's so important for people to maintain a good "work-life balance," though it so much more difficult now that many of us continue to work from home.
She says, "It's hard sometimes for workers who aren't in a position of power, whereas I think managers have the responsibility to create that environment for their employees. I do think people are becoming more aware of the importance of that, and shaping their jobs and their life choices to allow for it."
