Three main elements can help us in attempting to achieve a proper work-life balance.  1) Having routine "check-ins" during work and at home by practicing self-reflection.  Implement a "transition period" in between.  2) Adhering to a schedule and monitor the inputs and outputs to make the necessary adjustments.  3) Having the right "growth-mindset" by working backwards from the desired outcome to the process of achieving it.  It's important to base our performance level on tangible outcomes and results rather than "just being busy".  Finally, learning to delegate and the "power of saying no" is very crucial.
