Maybe it's time you invest in a planner

This article is part of InHerSight's What I Wish I'd Known series. Clarify pivotal moments in your career with the help of women who’ve been there. For this series, we asked women to share their wisdom on navigating key work experiences so you can do them with ease.

As someone who's just started my first corporate job, the work-life balance concept is something I’d only heard about from older friends and colleagues. 

Now that I’m living it, I’ve realized how important it is to stay organized. Balancing work, college, and personal life has been challenging, but also a huge learning experience. 

One piece of advice I’d give to anyone who hasn’t yet experienced this balance is to stay organized—whether that’s through a to-do list or a calendar. Writing down everything you need to do, both at work and in your personal life, helps you focus and avoid feeling overwhelmed. 

It makes it a lot easier to manage your time and keep track of what’s important. And don’t be too hard on yourself if things don’t always go as planned—flexibility is key!
