Tips for Balancing Your Work and Your Private Life

Balancing your days and nights as an escort is never an easy-breezy task. Being a successful escort involves contributing to the family, making time for yourself and keeping up with your health and fitness regimen- damn, there's so much to do single-handedly.

From offering the best version of yourself to the clients to taking care of yourself (and kids, if you have them) to trying to catch up with your close friends and staying normal- we are already aware that you've got a lot on your plate. Having a never-ending workday is destructive and can result in hurting your relationships, health and overall happiness. 

Juggling multiple roles and goals in this life is daunting and stressful. You just don't know at what point you'll be overworked and exhausted until you lose your calm and burst out like a volcano. You typically work on bookings only and have no 9-5 corporate job so it's relatively easier to switch it off when you want to. Unfortunately, it isn't the same for every individual. Many escorts struggle to find a balance between work and their private lives since the lines are more blurred. 

Nowadays, achieving a work-life balance might appear an impossible feat. Managing everything and maintaining a successful career and personal life without experiencing burnout is hard. Here, gathered some of the most helpful tips to help you balance your personal and professional life. Read up and begin incorporating them into your life today! 

Managing Time Like A Pro

The most game-changing advice is to manage your time efficiently. All of us have gotten the same 24 hours every day. However, how we use that time is different for every individual. Not everyone has got a nanny to look after their kids or a work assistant to share the load. 

You need to come up with a schedule that doesn't drain all your energy. You can maybe set work hours and define workdays to find a balance that works the best. Otherwise, you'll be working your ass off every time. Creating a schedule and sticking to it is crucial.

Plan it all Out

This is the part where you'll need to sit and decide your commitments for the entire week ahead. Making a to-do list can help immensely here. That way, you'll be able to keep track of what you've achieved during a week.

Mark your workdays in the calendar and don't cater to any sudden bookings. It's good to plan how many slots you can accommodate in a day and within the entire week. 

Let's say you've accepted a week's booking that includes travelling to Calgary and staying in with them. We know there's a lot of prep that goes into taking a trip with a client. But before you sign up for the booking, you need to check if any important dates/events fall on those specific days. After all, you wouldn't want to miss your partner's birthday or another important event.

Map out your priorities and dedicate time to each of them such as family, workout, shopping, socializing with friends and so forth. For instance, if it's a lazy Sunday and you get an incall booking that begins in an hour-you should turn that session down. After all, turning down a booking is always better than getting unsatisfactory Ottawa Escort Reviews on your escort profile. 

At the end of a productive week, you should treat yourself by indulging in fun things over the weekend either with family or friends. This way you'll have something to look forward to with the end of your workweek and have your options ready to blow off some steam. Hang out with your better half, go on a romantic date and simply do all the things you love to do together.

Unfortunately, the nature of your job requires you to be active and accessible on the weekends too and it will be a bit difficult to take some time off even when you have planned it all in advance. But make sure to save a couple of days a week to rest and unwind. If weekends are busy for you, you can take Mondays and Tuesdays off, for example. 

Perfectionism isn't meant for everyone! 

Let go of perfectionism before it eats you alive. No matter how much you try, you can't be perfect or have a perfect life. Escorts strive to give their best shot when it comes to their work and sometimes it can be damaging. Not every day is going to be the same. Some days you will be more focused on work and other days, you'll be inclined to pursue your hobbies and interests. There will be days when you won't be able to sweep the clients off their feet and that is OK.

Unplug & Unwind

Instead of easing out things, technology has made all the workers accessible around the clock. 

It's essential to put your phone away sometimes and live in the moment. Putting yourself first occupies a major chunk of balancing your work and private life. You don't have to respond to your clients and take bookings while attending a family dinner or your child's first concert at the annual show. 

Technology has made communication easier but it has also raised expectations of constant accessibility. Work emails and phone notifications popping up interrupt your time off and put you under the stress of reverting back at your earliest. Being an escort, you can't just flee out of the apartment for an outcall at any time of the day without worrying about your partner and kids(if you have them). 

Indulge in Self-Love 

As an escort, you don't necessarily have to say yes and talk dirty to every client who drops in a request. You have got the liberty to filter and sift the Johns. Accept the booking that you're passionate about and give your best shot. Your job should make you happy first so that you can make someone else happy too.

Consider your free time special and don't sacrifice it for your job. Hit the gym, meet friends, cook yourself a nice supper, take a yoga class, go on a coffee date or simply binge-watch your favourite Netflix series.

Plan Getaways & Vacations

Escorting requires patience and being all ears to your client. Hearing them out and offering emotional support is part of the package. It doesn't always include sex. There are numerous non-sexual services that escorts offer. 

Before it takes a toll on your mental health, hop on the plane either solo or with your chosen circle. Taking a break from work and heading out on a short getaway can help you stay motivated and happy. You'll be refreshed and more excited to get back to work after a relaxing and fun trip. 

Lastly, don't even try to be all things to all people surrounding you. That's both physically and mentally exhausting and won't land you anywhere. If you cannot manage something, decline a booking or recommend someone else, but don't push yourself to do it on your own.

Strive for a realistic schedule that focuses on your health. Work-life balance is a cycle that's achieved over time and doesn't happen in a single day. You need to strike the balance that's just right for you!
