Another year to think about how best to balance your professional and personal life…this time in 2022.   Are you frustrated with not being able to keep deadlines?   Are you feeling a little disorganized, disoriented, or overwhelmed? How can we best juggle both personal and work to create that life balance we all hunger for?

Many of us who are working remotely whether part or full time are concerned about how our personal and work responsibilities are overlapping. There is no ‘perfect’ work-life balance, but there are ways that we all can manage the chaos without pushing aside our own well-being.

To help you plan for a better future, we at Limited Limitless Living have curated a number of planning tools that may be useful. These tools represent different types of planners, journals and books that may help you plan for now and the future.  I’ve used both books in this shopper guide and highly recommend for long-term planning support.  My preferred planner is the Planner Pad.  I also use a wall calendar separately to keep up with my blog.  I am always looking for tools that help increase my efficiency and change them up when they don’t seem to work as well anymore.

Everyone is different in their planning approach, as there are numerous planning apps and planners available. I don’t find planning apps as appealing but I realize that for many folks they are quite effective.  I prefer to reduce the amount of screen time on my eyes.  I tend to be more visual and  a bit old school about writing things down.

 If you have not decided yet on what planning tools to use and you are looking for a different approach on how to plan for 2022 (daily, weekly or monthly) there may be something here for you.
