None of us are strangers to the phrase “work-life balance” — whether it’s something we remind ourselves to be cognizant of, or a concept that we have a fairly good handle on.
相信我们都对“工作-生活平衡”并不陌生——用来提醒自己也好，用来深刻理解也好。

However, in emphasizing the importance of balancing between our career and our daily life, we sometimes forget that there are other workplace aspects to consciously regulate - and it is just as crucial to do so. Here are a few of them:
不过，在我们强调工作与生活平衡的重要性的同时，常常也会忽略了一些在有意调节的工作场合方面，并且是非常有必要的去调节的。它们包括以下的：

1. Your goals
1.你的目标。

It’s imperative to set goals for yourself that are a healthy medium between entirely unattainable and easily doable. It’s important not to get discouraged if we don’t reach a milestone when we thought we would - and instead treat any minor setback as incentive to dive deeper into how to get to that point.
很有必要为自己设定一些难度中等的目标，它们既不会让你感到遥不可及，也不会太容易完成。即使无法完成里程碑式的目标，我们也不能让自己气馁。反过来，我们还应该把这些小挫折当作更大的动力，从而更好地实现目标。

This is where balance comes into play yet again - having high levels of motivation, yet upholding reasonable expectations.
通过这个方法，你才能达到心境的平衡——既能保持满满的动力，还能坚持有意义的希冀。

2. Saying what’s on your mind.
2.表达心中所想。

There will be many times where you’ll want to speak up or even against something, but hold back out of fear of your comment being misconstrued negatively. The key here is to learn how to identify situations where you can offer your opinion - as well as instances where it’s best to keep your mouth shut.
我们很多时候会想要表达自己的观点，甚至公开反对某些事情，不过你也得考虑到你的言论是否会让他人产生误解，所以还是谨言慎行为上。关键在于，你要学会在合适的场合表达个人观点，在不适合的场合要学会闭嘴。

3. The time you allocate to particular things.
3.时间安排

It’s hard not to become attached to or engrossed in something that we are more passionate about, but it’s also crucial to recognize when you are falling behind in other areas.
虽然我们很容易会对感兴趣的东西难以自拔，但是我们也要留意到其他方面会不会因此而滞后了。

The concept of time goes well beyond procrastination or laziness - often among perfectionists, the problem presents itself when we want to get one thing just right.
缺乏时间观念的症状远远不止拖延症或懒惰症，通常会出现在完美主义者身上——当我们想要力求完美呈现的时候，问题就会出现了。

Balancing various things can be a challenge - and it’s especially prevalent in the workplace. The best you can do is be aware of what areas you can improve on - and it’s that awareness that will be your secret weapon.
想要协调各方对于我们来说都是难题，在工作场合尤为明显。你最应该做的，便是要对自己的改善空间有深刻的理解，正是这种理解才能成为你的秘密武器。
