Employee Assistance Program Tip Sheet The 5 Buckets Principle for Work-Life Balance Every day, sometimes every moment of every day, we are confronted with a barrage of demands. How do we decide where to focus our energy? Which area takes precedence over the other, especially when tackling one can feel like neglecting another. How is it possible to sustain this push and pull? The idea behind the Five Buckets Principle is that it creates a framework around which to prioritize our choices to ensure that energy and time is being spent on the areas that matter most. This allows for thoughtful decision making, which ultimately leads to feeling more aligned with one’s goals and values, creating a better sense of fulfillment and balance. Family and Friends. Prioritize time with loved ones, set boundaries to protect this time, and learn when to 1. say “no” to commitments that get in the way of achieving this. 2. Work. Focus on finding joy and positive aspects of your work, manage interruptions so you can do your best, and find ways to grow professionally. 3. Finances. Set goals, manage spending, plan for retirement, and prepare for the unexpected. 4. Health. Exercise, schedule and attend preventative screenings, and prioritize nutrition, sleep, and stress management. 5. Community. Carve out time for your passion, cause, or commitment, which not only helps with a sense of being involved in something larger than yourself but helps form social connections. Each of these areas requires some level of attention whether it is daily, weekly, or monthly. Perhaps there are categories you would change out. The important thing is to practice spending more of your time and energy on the areas that are important and letting go. If you’re finding it hard to prioritize the things in your life that you value, the Employee Assistance Program can help. Wendy Wollner. “The 5 Buckets of Work-Life Balance”.
