“A Day in the Life: What It’s Really Like to Be a Career Coach” – Part 2

A Day in the Life of a Career Coach: Balancing Work and Family

Imagine ending each day on a relaxing note, with quality time spent with loved ones and a plan in place for the next day. This is a reality for a career coach who has mastered the art of balancing work and family life.

From 8 to 10 pm, the evening routine begins. The kids are tucked away in bed (most nights, anyway!), and it’s time for some well-deserved relaxation. A warm bath, some quiet time, or planning future travel adventures are all on the agenda. It’s a special time for the husband-and-wife team to reconnect, sharing stories about their day, discussing current events, and enjoying each other’s company.

One key aspect of this daily routine is avoiding work-related conversations during these hours. With a bit of discipline and intention, they’ve managed to separate their work and personal lives, creating a healthier balance. Of course, occasional quick discussions about business may be necessary, but they’re kept brief and to the point.

During this evening routine, the career coach also takes a few moments to:

  • Review the next day’s schedule and create a to-do list using the Structured app
  • Plan meals and workouts for the following day
  • Log off social media to avoid the temptation of late-night scrolling
  • Prepare for reading time, winding down with a good book before bed

By 10:30 pm, it’s lights out, ready to recharge for another busy day.

This glimpse into the daily life of a career coach offers valuable insights into achieving a better work-life balance. By prioritizing quality time with loved ones, setting boundaries, and staying organized, anyone can create a more fulfilling and sustainable routine.
